The Year of the Dog has passed,and this year we welcome the Pig!What do you think about pigs? Do you think they're dirty,or that they eat a lot? I wonder if these things are true.

When you see pigs,they are usually in dirty water or mud(泥巴). But pigs would rather stay clean if they could. Pigs have no sweat glands(汗腺),so during hot days,they have to cool themselves in water or mud. Mud can keep insects(虫子)off of them. It can also protect(保护)their skin from the sun.

If someone is eating a lot,we say they are “pigging out”. Pigs do love eating. But they're still useful to us. Besides eating pork(猪肉),we also use other parts of pigs. Pig bones and skin are used for glue and shoes. The hair is used for artists' brushes. Pigs are also used to make drugs,such as insulin(胰岛素).

“You are as stupid as a pig!” Are pigs stupid? Pigs are actually very smart animals. The only animals that are smarter than them are humans,primates(灵长类),dolphins and whales. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats.

For example,pigs have a good sense of smell. They can find things underground. They also help the police sniff out(嗅出)drugs.

1.Why do pigs stay in mud during hot days?

a. Because mud keeps them cool.

b. Because mud can protect their skin from the sun.

c. Because mud can help them sweat.

d. Because mud can keep insects off of them.

A.abc B.abd

C.acd D.bcd

2.What does “pigging_out” mean?

A.Eating a lot. B.Being stupid.

C.Getting dirty. D.Being smart.

3.What do many experts think of pigs?

A.They're more difficult to raise.

B.They're as smart as humans.

C.They're easier to train than dogs.

D.They're friendly.

4.According to the story,which of the following is TRUE?

A.Pigs would rather stay in mud.

B.Pigs are useless to the police.

C.Pigs are smart and useful in many ways.

D.Pigs are the dirtiest animals in the world.

I travel a lot,and I find out different “styles” of giving directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

In Japan,people use landmarks(地标)in their directions because most streets don't have names.For example,the Japanese will say to travelers,“Go straight ahead and turn left at the hotel.The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest,there are no towns or buildings in many places.Instead of landmarks,people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas,for example,people will say,“Go north two miles.Turn east,and then go another mile.”

People in Los Angeles,California have no idea of distance.They measure(测量)distance in time,not miles.“How far away is the post office?” you ask.“Oh,” they answer.“It's about five minutes from here.”

It's true that a person doesn't know the answer sometimes.What happens in such a situation?A New Yorker might say,“Sorry,I don't know.” But in Yucatan,Mexico,no one answers,“I don't know.” People believe that “I don't know.” is impolite.They usually give an answer,often a wrong one.A tourist can get very,very lost in Yucatan!

1.Why do Japanese people use landmarks in their directions?

A.Because they have no idea of distance. B.Because there are no towns or buildings.

If you want a pen friend, what should you write in your first letter?

*Your basic information, such as your name, age and where you live.

*How you found his/her name and address. For example, I saw your name in Kids' magazine. . .

* _____________________________ This gives you a lot to write about and lets your pen friend see if you two share the same interests. You may write, "I have a dog named Einstein. He is very naughty.

*Be specific (详细而精确的). Don't say you like watching movies. Tell them what movies you like. Say something like "I watch a lot of Disney movies and my favourite one is The Lion King. . "

*Ask questions so that he/she can answer. For example, I like Jay Chou very much. Who's your favourite pop star?

Friends are very important in our everyday life. Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
