25、  Chen Weijun,13, is a Junior 2 student at Huaqiao Middle School in Haikou, Hainan.

  This week, he had the happiest time. On Tuesday, he went to the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. He and nine other kids became the Top 10 Young Pioneers.

  “Now I am not only my dad’s good boy, I am China’s good boy. I must work harder,” he said.

  At school, Chen is a good student leader. He does many activities. He was in short plays. He worked as a host(主持人) for his school TV.

  “I’m self-assured. It’s good to try different things.” Chen said. “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

  Chen’s teacher, Xie Wei, said Chen is nice and helpful. “He doesn’t talk much but works very hard.”

  Young Chen always helps other people. One student at his school, Wu Deyi, had leukemia(白血病). Chen asked students and teachers to help him. From February to May, Chen raised more than 20,000 yuan for Wu.

  Chen also thinks about how to make his city cleaner. There were plastic bags in the Meishe River. Chen was sad. He wanted the river to be clean. So he wrote a letter to the head of the city. He asked him to spend more money, tell people not to throw rubbish into the river and have a wall to keep children safe. The head of the city listened to him. Now the river is cleaner.

  At home, Chen is a good boy. He washes his clothes and he also cooks meals for the family sometimes. Chen says his hero is Premier(总理) Wen Jiabao. “He is very brave. He is not afraid of difficulties and makes China stronger,” Chen said. Will Chen become a big leader of tomorrow?

21、  There are many only kids in China．They have no brothers or sisters．They often feel lonely．so，finding a pen pal is a good idea.

  Some people like finding a pen pal on the internet or from magzines. The Internet and some magazines can help you find a pen pal. You need to tell them where you live，how old you are，what language you speak, and your hobby．Readers can choose their pen pals. They may live far away from each other．They may have different colors of skin．But they can know each other by writing．

  Life today is different from that before．People wrote letters to each other，but now people use e-mail，QQ or MSN to chat with their pen pals．These pen pals are often called not pals．

20、    Snake dishes have become popular in recent years．Snake meat is often seen in restaurants. It seems that eating snake is now in fashion and if you haven't eaten snake yet, you're considered “out of date。”

    But I wonder whether all of the trends(趋势)are worth following．

    Some people may defend(辩解)themselves by saying that eating snake is good for their health.But these people don’t find out that mice and worms are often in snakes' bodies，therefore,there are many parasites(寄生虫)found inside smkes．they may be bad for our health.

  Apart from this，we're sorry to see that more snakes are being killed by a butcher's(厨师的) knife.

    According to the English newspaper：Shanghai Star，about l000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China．In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province，sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day．

    If we still turn a blind eye to this，a vicious circle(恶性循环)will be created．if more snakes are eaten by people，the number of snakes will drop，but the number of mice will increase，which will result in a decrease(减少)crop output(产量)．

    This will make more people hungry．Who wants to see a tragedy(悲剧)happen?

    Therefore, let’s not eat snake any more．To protect the snakes is to protect  ourselves．
