Do you like them? Many people dont, because they believe that pigs are naturally fat, lazy and dirty. But are any of those things true?It is true that pigs are fat. They eat a lot. But they are useful to us. We get more than just pork from pigs. We can use their skin to make shoes. We can use their hair to make brushes. Pigs also provide us with ingredients for drugs like insulin(胰岛素). Insulin can treat diabetes(糖尿病).People sometimes say, You are as stupid as a pig.But pigs are not stupid. In fact pigs are one of the 10 smartest animals. They have a good memory and can tell different shapes apart. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats. In France, people teach pigs to find truffles(松露). With their good sense of smell, they can find truffles even faster than dogs.When you see pigs, they are usually in dirty water or mud. Thats because pigs have no sweat glands(汗腺). On hot days, they have to cool themselves in water or mud. This keeps insects off them as well. Mud can also protect their skin from sunburns.These stereotypes about pigs often make us hold a negative view about the animal. For example, if someone eats a lot, we say that they have pigged out. If someones room is very messy, we might say his or her room looks like a pigsty(猪圈).But people in ancient China really liked pigs. People thought the pigs big head and ears were a symbol of good luck. If someone had a round and chubby(胖乎乎的)face, he or she was thought to be blessed(有福气的). People also believed the animal, stood for wealth, as humans use every part of the pig. Piggy banks are a symbol of this. Most children have a piggy bank that they can use to save money. 26 . People can use pigs skin to_.Amake clothesBmake insulinCmake shoesDmake brushes27 . According to the passage, pigs can_.Atell one hundred different colors apart.Bfind truffles with their good eyesight.Cbe of great help to people like dogs.Dget away from insects with their masters help.28 . Why did the people in ancient China like pigs?APeople thought the pigs big head and ears were a symbol of good luck.BPeople believed the animal stood for health.CPeople knew pigs were one of the 10 smartest animals.DPeople thought pigs were blessed by god.29 .

Some people climbed the highest mountains; some traveled into unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.Bungee jumping (蹦极) and motorcycle racing (摩托车赛) are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts for a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.Why do people join in these dangerous sports?
