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（十二生肖）. 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 （提名）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”.小题1: The writer wrote the first paragraph in a ______ tone.A．sadB．confusedC．seriousD．humorous小题2: We may know from the passage that ______.A．people in England like pigs more than other animalsB．pigs are more useful than ordinary people imagineC．pigs are the first animals raised by manD．more people don’t want to eat pigs now小题3:The underlined sentence “pigs might fly!” in the fifth paragraph means “______”.A．What you have just said is impossibleB．Pigs are great animals C．I don’t understand your wordsD．I can’t agree with you more小题4:Which diagram shows the structure（结构） of the passage?

Is Peppa Pig making toddlers naughty? Parents despair as children copy cartoon by answering back
00:28 GMT, 9 January 2012
Bad influence? Parents are turning against the Peppa Pig character claiming that it is causing their children to misbehave
With her cheeky smile – and even cheekier attitude – she has become a hit with children.But it seems a growing number
of parents are turning against TV character Peppa Pig, claiming she is a ‘bad influence’.Many complain their sons and daughters have started to copy
the ‘naughty’ behaviour of the cartoon pig and her younger brother, George, by answering back to their parents.Some have even banned the programme because they claim it has made their children misbehave.One father spoke of his despair at how his four-year-old son had taken to splashing in what he gleefully called ‘muddy puddles’ on his way to school – copying Peppa’s favourite pastime.Others reported that their
children had started shouting ‘chocolate cake’ whenever they were asked what they would
like for breakfast – just like George Pig. ‘The more I see, the more alarmed I am at the choice of behaviour put into this “cartoon”,’ one mother wrote on parenting website Mumsnet.‘George Pig, who my son loves, says “yuck” at vegetables and only wants to eat chocolate cake.
Tantrum: Parents on the Mumsnet site said that many toddlers had started arguing over what foods they liked and saying 'yuck' and 'no'‘A day after watching that
episode, my son wouldn’t eat his cucumber and tomatoes.’In reply, another mother wrote: ‘My daughter keeps saying “no” and “yuk” in a really high and mighty way, just like Peppa does, and generally answering back when I ask her to do something.‘Shall I ban Peppa Pig, or is that being totally unreasonable?’
Naive: Dr Aric Sigman said that parents should realise that what children watched would affect their behaviour
Psychologist Dr Aric Sigman said that parents were being ‘na?ve’ if they thought that what children watched would not affect their behaviour.He said that in recent years there had been a ‘significant increase’ in children using ‘adversarial, snide, questioning, confrontational and disrespectful behaviour’ they had copied from cartoons.‘There’s nothing special about Peppa Pig – the same applies to all programmes,’ he said.‘Some 80 per cent of brain development is between birth and three years old, so if they spend a lot of time watching the TV, they will copy forms of behaviours that they see on the TV.’He added: ‘The problem is you can’t distinguish to children what is real and pretend.‘You can’t just say to the child the pig was only pretending it was naughty.’

My Mom Is a Huge *****
alright, listen. my mom cooks for me, cleans and ****. yeah, thats good, i like it. but that does not give her an excuse for being a SUPER MEGA HUGE *****. heres the deal. my sister wanted to dye her hair blonde. i knew my mom didn't want her to, but being the nice sister i am, i decided to do it for her anyway. my sisters died my hair before, so i figured i'd return the favor. so we go downstairs, do her hair. and right in the middle of it, what do you know. the ***** walks in. after a series of very angry facial expressions she says, what the **** are you doing. i go & dying her hair&. this is when she starts flipping out. honestly, is dying hair that big of a deal though. its our bodies, we can do whatever we want with them. not according to her. she turns this into a huge issue, not only about dying my sisters hair but how we dont repect her at all. we dont listen to any rules she sets or anything she says. if she could see it from our point of view, its not that we dont respect her its thjat we just wanna have fun and do harmless things that wouldnt even matter if she didnt care so much.& so she continues to ground us each for a week, take our cell phones, and take my laptop. seriously, **** THAT *****. i have a boyfriend who i need to text and friends i need to call. she has no right to take my **** for a nice favor i was doing for my sister. she needs to stop being so sensitive, let us do what we want and ******* get a life of her own, and stop trying to ruin ours. this case of flipping out wasnt something new, i'd say it happens probably once a ******* day. i cant take this, but only 3 more years till i graduate and can move to california. and get away from this mother ******* douche bag **** *** ***** that i call my mother.
