阅读下面短文,根据其内容完成后面各项任务。

Almost everyone has a piggy bank (储蓄罐), but do you know why people often make it in the shape (形状) of a pig?

Believe it or not, people made the piggy bank in the shape of a pig by mistake. In the Middle Ages, many containers (容器) at home were made of a kind of cheap clay (陶土) called pygg. 单词“pygg”听起来和“pig”一样。At that time, there weren’t banks like we have today, so people would save their money at home in some clay containers. Because the kind of clay was called pygg, people called the containers pygg banks. Over time this became piggy banks. After several hundred years, people forgot that the word “pygg” meant a kind of clay.

The English language also changed. People used the word “pig” more commonly. So when English workers were asked to make “piggy banks”, they thought they needed to make containers in the shape of pigs. Surprisingly (出人意料地), the pig-shaped containers were popular.

Today piggy banks are made of all kinds of things, and they also come in different shapes and animals. But people still call those cute containers for money “piggy banks”.
