You’ve probably heard of working dogs that help police officers, or horses that help farmers. Did you know that carrier pigeons（信鸽）can be trained to help people too? Here are some examples.

Mailman

Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed into a small can. The can is tied to the pigeon’s leg. Then the pigeon flies off with the note.

Lifeguard

From high up in the sky, specially trained pigeons can find orange life jackets in the ocean. Sometimes it is difficult for humans to find people lost at sea, especially when the weather is bad. However, pigeons can fly quickly over a large area of water to look for people.

Spy

Many years ago, carrier pigeons were used to help our country during wars (战争). “Spy pigeons” had small cameras that were tied to their feet. As a pigeon flew over enemy (敌人)land, the camera took photos of the land below. This would allow our soldiers to see where the enemies were and what they were doing.

So next time you see a pigeon, stop and watch it closely. What might look like an ordinary bird to most people, might actually be helpful.

The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mom makes a wish that he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, but he is well-known only by a birthmark around his right eye.

Everything he tries, he fails. He wants to be an Olympic champion of qiangbaoshan (抢包山), but the sport of catching the hottest baozi from a small mountain doesn’t really exist (存在), of course. He dreams of going to the Maldives, but ends up on only a one-day tour of a Hong Kong landmark.

1.____________ McDull was at first a supporting character i a story about his cousin McMug, a smart baby pig and “what parents expect of their children.” But interestingly, the wooden-healed McDull gradually became more attractive when he told his classmates that if he became the class monitor, he would treat everyone with strawberry cakes. McDull tried to speak out one sentence i his speech, “If you choose me, you will be...painful.” For him, it looks only a little bit different from an “A” when he gets an “E”. 2.____________

3._____________ In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience (观众), “I suddenly realize that there is something you cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no golden medal, no money... Actually, being silly is not funny---it could mean failure (失败). Being fat is not funny. Being fat does not even mean you are stronger. Disappointment is not funny, either. When I grow up, and face the strict world that isn’t funny, what should I do?” He is still happy, however. He always starts again with a new dream when one fails him.

4._____________ The popularity of McDull sometimes makes his creator Alice Mark confused, who hs some simple thoughts, such as God creates humans, because he loves humans and he wants them to be happy. “maybe people see themselves and their friends in McDull. McDull makes people realize that they used to be as simple and happy as him. If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a world full of problems. 5._______________” says Alice Mark.

A. The cartoon pig is not smart, either.

B. That’s why both children and adults find McDull cute.

C. However, the slow, silly pig has won over Hong Kong people.

D. According to his headmaster, McDull isn’t that silly. He’s just too kind.

E. The story is more than its funny points. It is pleasant and sour at the same time.

F. What he has been doing in the moveis is to find new dreams, but most of them end up in disappointment.

-- May I leave now, sir?

-- You’d better _______ until they come.

A. not to go B. to not go C. don’t go D. not go
