2019 is the Year of the Pig. Most people think that pigs are fat, lazy and dirty. However, pigs are more than that.
It is true that pigs are fat. But for people, pigs have many uses. They give us their meat. Their skin（皮）can be used to make shoes. Their hair can be used to make brushes. Pigs also offer us something that can make some medicine.
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. In France, people teach pigs to find truffles （松露）. With their good sense of smell，pigs can find truffles even faster than dogs.
Pigs often appear in cartoons and movies. Every Chinese knows Zhu Bajie. Children and even adults like the cartoon Peppa Pig very much. And there is always laughter in Peppa's family.
People in ancient China thought the pig's big head and ears were a symbol of good luck. Pigs also stood for wealth, as humans used 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.
There are some famous sayings about pigs. For example, "when pigs fly" is used to say that you do not think something will happen. If someone eats a lot of food all at once, we say they "pig out".
（）75. What do most people think of pigs?

B. They are useful.
C. They are lazy.

Why are your study habits different from those of your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others? One reason you may not know is that people have different types. Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual（视觉型），Auditory（听觉型），and Kinesthetic （动觉型）。

Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs（图表），and videos, you are probably a visual learner. Y ou’re not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you.
Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to easily remember things by hearing
them, then you are probably an auditory learner. You must listen carefully while the teacher is speaking because it’s the easiest way for you to learn. Sometimes you may find that taking notes tops you from listening carefully. After class, you can write down what you remember or borrow your friend’s notes to copy.
Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands, you are probably a kinesthetic learner. Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it. Of course, you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities.
Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is.
（）79. There are____________ different learning types according to the passage.
A. two
B. three
C. four
D. five
（）80. Jude can remember the words of a song quickly by listening to it once or twice. She might be a /an ____________ according to the passage.
A. auditory learner
B. visual learner
C. strange leaner
D. usual learner （）81. Kinesthetic learners learn best by ____________
A. Remembering information from videos
B. listening teachers in class
C. drawing graphs or pictures
D. doing things with their hands
（）82. The best title of this passage ma y be “____________”
A. Study Habits
B. Ways to study
C. Learning types
D. Reasons to learn

Sometimes people call each other “scared-cat”. But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will protect itself or it will run away as fast as it can.
Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or scared by other feelings, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert（警醒）and ready to react（反应）. We, too, get ready to defend（防御;保护）ourselves or run.
Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over（接管）, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always clever to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean that it’s smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden inside, your body stays tense. Physical illness can develop. It can actually be bad for your health. （It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside, either; all feelings need to be expressed）Feelings that you keep inside don’t just go away. It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you’d smell them. And if you opened the c upboard, maybe you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.
You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist（存在）, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them just like those bananas.
（）83.The best title for this article is_______.
A. Feelings Affect （影响）Our Bodies
B. What Happens to a Frightened Cat
C. What Happens to an Excited Person
D. Feelings that People Have
（）84.W hat does the underlined word“muscle” mean in the first sentence?
A. 皮肤
B. 心情
C. 肌肉
D. 身体
（）85. According to the passage we may conclude（总结）that we human beings________.
A. have fewer problems than animals
B. have the same problems as animals
C. have more problems than animals
D. have cleverer problems than animals （）86. If you hide your feeling __________.
A. they’ll disappear
B. they won’t exist any more
C they will fly all over D. your body stays tense
（）87.The author wrote this article in order to___________.
A. tell us that it isn’t good to keep feelings inside
B. give us some advice on how to express our feelings
C. make us face the problem that we have to deal with feelings
D. make us know that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely

阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。

Where there is a will, there is a way. It's a nice saying. If we want to achieve something, things will come our way, but we need to be dedicated（专注的）to our goals. There will be some difficulties but willpower（毅力）makes sure that we can achieve the goal. The meaning of this saying applies to（适用于）almost all areas of life. If we want good things to come to our way, we need to work hard with complete dedication and patience.
We may not get good results in the first try, but we may succeed after trying hard a number of times. There is a simple story of a thirsty crow who worked hard to fill a pitcher（水罐）with small stones to get the water level up to drink the water. At first he looked for water for hours. However, when he found water, it was very low in the pitcher. He tried a lot of ways to get it, but failed. Then an idea came to him and he started collecting stones one by one and putting them in the pitcher. Finally, he was successful in bringing the water level up and drinking it.
His willpower gave him the ability to overcome all the difficulties and succeed. The crow's success teaches us that we should never give up hope even when we are surrounded（围绕）by difficulties. If we can be patient and try our best to think of a number of ways to solve the difficulties, we will succeed in the end.
88. How to get what we want to achieve? （不超过10个词）
_______________________________________________________________________
89. How did the crow get the water in the pitcher? （不超过10个词）
