　　What we believe depend on our view of the world. For example if we ask, “When was America discovered?” Most of us would think of Christopher Columbus in 1492．But Chinese children learn that Hui Shen, a Buddhist monk (僧侣) , got to America 1,000 years earlier than Columbus. Who was printing invented by and in which year was in invented? You at once think of Guterberg in 1436, but Chinese children learn that it was invented by Bi Sheng in 1041.

　　Whose invention is spaghetti (面条)? It's the invention of the Italians, you might say. Wrong again. The Chinese had it before them. Where and when was the compass(指南针)invented? Answer: in China in 200 BC. Where was silk-making invented? Not in Persia, as you might think, but in China. Which was the first country to put a man into space and who was he? The Soviet Union, you will say and the man's name was Yuri Gagarin. But according to the Chinese, Wan Hu made it long before, Yuri. When, do you think-In 1500 AD! He sat in a chair attached to 47 rockets, holding a very big kite which would help him return to earth. He never came back!

I’m a pig, and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters, and my wife, believe it or not, is a dragon! Do I live in a zoo? No, of course not! I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs. Depending on the year of your birth, each person has an animal for a sign. That’s why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you, like me, were born in the year of the pig, then you are brave, thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.
　　Now let’s take a closer look at this interesting animal.
　　Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago, and are still a very common farm animal in many parts of the world. We don’t just use pigs for their meat — almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists’ brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax, rubber and plastics.
　Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film ‘Babe’ starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer, Rob Shepherd, has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People don’t just want to eat pigs, it seems!
　Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example, if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day, you can say “pigs might fly!” to him. Hungry? Well then, you can “pig out” and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you? Well, you can say that they “saved your bacon”.

　　A. What you have just said is impossible
　　B. Pigs are great animals
　　C. I don’t understand your words
　　D. I can’t agree with you more
