Question

【题目】 China and Western countries may have different ideas about certain animals，but when it comes to pigs，we have somehow reached an agreement-that pigs are ugly，lazy，stupid and shameless.

But the truth is that pigs do have some finer qualities（品质）. Science long ago proved that pigs aren't stupid at all. A research shows pigs are "mentally and socially similar to dogs". 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（小猪佩奇），for example，a UK television series（连续剧）that began in 2004，has now become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and regions. The four members in the cartoon's pig family teach children from all around the world about love，friendship，and the value of family. And in China，McDull，a young pig who works hard toward his dreams even though he keeps failing，have been a popular cartoon character since 2001.

Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind-intelligence，cuteness and patience.
