Many countries have different ideas about different animals, but when we talk about pigs, we may have the same idea of them---the pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid(蠢的).

Just look at the idioms(習(xí)語) in Chinese. We have “Boiling a dead pig, ” and “A big looking in the mirrors still a pig.” And in English, they have “eating like a pig” and “sweating like a pig,” None(沒有一個(gè))of them are good.

In fact, there are some good things about pigs. And maybe now is the best time to clear(澄清)their names.

First, pigs are not stupid. Their EQ is like dogs and chimpanzees(黑猩猩). They can remember things for a long time. And some pigs can learn things from people.

Second, pigs are very clean animals. On farms, they live in dirty places, so they are very dirty. In the wild(野外). Pigs are very clean.

Third, pigs are very friendly animals. Some people keep them as pets. Of course, people keep the small kind, not the big kind. Small pigs are very cute.

There are cute pigs in cartoons, too. Peppa Pig, for example, a UK cartoon, becomes popular in many countries. The four pigs in the cartoon teach children love, friendship and family. In China, we have McDull(麥兜), a pig who works hard to realize(實(shí)現(xiàn))his dreams.

They think pigs are lazy, ________.

2.How many idiom are there in the passage?

________.

3.Why does the writer think that pigs are not stupid?

Because pigs can _________ and learn things from people.

A volunteer in the future

There are lots of volunteers around us now. They don't do it for money. They do it only for happiness or for others.

If I have a chance to join a Volunteer Club, I will try my best to help others. In my class, I am good at Maths and Science. I can help my classmates who are in trouble if I am free. In the primary school, I can help teach young students paint because I am good at drawing. And I am good at singing, so I can sing songs to cheer up the sick people in hospital. Also, I can help the old people in the old people's home. I can do the housework for them because I think the old people will be very tired if they do the housework by themselves.

Except(除了) these, I can do some other things. Not only I feel good about helping others, but also I do something useful. So I think I should study hard to improve my skills and I will help others more in the future.

1.Why do lots of people want to be volunteers?

___________________________________________________________

2.What does the writer think of helping others?

___________________________________________________________

3.Do you want to be a volunteer? Why or why not?
