According to the traditional Chinese customs, 2019 is the year of Pig, ranking as the twelfth animal in the Chinese zodiac---the Shengxiao. Many people believe that pigs are naturally fat, lazy and dirty. But are any of those things true?
●Use
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.
●Not stupid
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 can remember things well and tell different shapes apart. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats.
●Stereotypes
These stereotypes (偏见) of pigs often make us feel negatively about the animal. For example, if someone’s room is very messy, we might say his or her room looks like a pigsty (猪圈).
●Ancient people’s favorite animal
But people in ancient China really liked pigs. If someone had a round and chubby face, he or she was thought to be blessed (有福气的). People also believed the animal stood for (代表) wealth. Now most children have a piggy bank that they can use to save money.

The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. In the early 1980s, were only 1,000 left in the wild. The main reason why pandas are endangered is that the area where pandas can live has become smaller.
The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways that helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves(自然保护区). Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to make “corridors”. These are paths that lead from one reserve to another. No one may harm the pandas in these areas.
