China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, they agree that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.
Just look at the idioms and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, we have the expressions of “Boiling a dead pig”, and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig". And in English, there are expressions such as “eating like a pig” and “sweating like a pig”. If you search on the Internet for the word “pig”, you will find more idioms. Here is another example. When old people have a dream to get to the top of Qomolangma, other people will laugh at them and say, “Pigs might fly.”
None of these expressions are exactly complimentary (称赞的).
But the truth is that pigs do have some good qualities. And there’s probably no better time to clear their names than now during the Year of the Pig.
First of all, science proved that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a passage, pigs are similar to dogs and chimpanzees. They like to play. They have good long-term memories. And they know the difference between those who treat them well and those who don't.
There are lovable pig characters in cartoons, too. Peppa pig, for example, a UK cartoon has become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and regions. It has attracted wide attention. In the cartoon’s pig family, they teach children about love, friendship, and the importance of family. And in China, McDull, a piglet (小猪崽 ) works hard toward his dreams even though he is in the face of quite a few failures. McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of repeated failures. He has a heart of gold.
Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind when we celebrate this Chinese New Year - their intelligence, cuteness, patience and innocence (纯真).

If a friend gives us a hand when we are in need, it’s a good idea to write him a thank-you note.
1.
“People don’t seem to walk around giving thanks to people quite often,” Amit Kumar from University of Texas said.2.And how do people feel when they receive one?
Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you note to another person by email. Then, they asked both the writer and the receiver how sending or receiving these notes made them feel.
They found that the students didn’t like to write the notes because they felt like they had to think too much about them.3.
The receiver, however, enjoyed the notes. “When you are a receiver, you focus on the warmth of the note.” Kumar says. “How heartfelt was it? How friendly and warm? ”
The writers also thought the receiver might be shy for receiving a thank-you note. 4.“The receiver feels quite happy,” Kumar says.“They don't really feel shy at all.”

These days, it’s not unusual for teachers to give homework on apps. For example, students are asked to practice English or do math exercises. Some teachers also use WeChat groups to give homework.
But now, the Ministry of Education is moving to ban (禁止) teachers from assigning homework on mobile apps due to concerns about students' eyesight. In 2018, more than 70 percent of middle school students in China were found to be nearsighted, according to the World Health Organization. Using mobile phones for long periods of time is bad for our eyes.
Do students like to do their homework on the phones?

I think it's fun to do homework with apps. The teachers ask students to dub English videos and make their own short videos. Gradually, it can make them more interested in English. Meanwhile, their spoken English can improve a lot.
Cons（反方）
Zhang Keqi，14
Sometimes the apps can't recognize （识别） what students are reading in English. They have to work on them for a long time to get a high score. What's more, their eyesight has gotten worse since they started using apps to do their homework.

I don't think it's a good way to do homework on the phones. Students are too young to control themselves.
