Piggy banks(小猪存钱罐) have been around for a long time, but did you ever wonder why people thought to make their banks in the shape of a pig
Pigs have nothing to do with money. They don't store food like a camel or a squirrel（松鼠). So how did we end up using a pig as the style of a bank Believe it or not, it happened by mistake.
During the fifteenth century, metal(金属） was very expensive. Dishes and pots were made of a type of inexpensive orange clay called "pygg", which was pronounced just like "pig". At that time, there weren't banks like we have today, so people would store their money at home.
When people had extra coins to save, they would place them in clay jars or pots. Since the type of clay was called pygg, people called the jars "pygg banks". Over time this developed into piggy banks.
After a few hundred years, people forgot that the word "pygg" referred to the clay the banks were made from. The English language was also changing and the word "pig" was more commonly used. So in the 19th century, When English potters(陶艺家) began to make piggy banks, they thought their customers were asking for banks in the shape of pigs, not banks made from pygg.
Today piggy banks were made from all kinds of materials, and they also come in different shapes and animals. But the term "piggy bank" is still used.
34．What is pygg
A．A type of metal that was used to make banks.
B．A type of clay that was used to make dishes and pots.
C．A place to store money.
D．A pink farm animal with a long nose.
35．According to the passage, which are two ways that piggy banks today are different from the ones a few hundred years ago
⑴Materials ⑵price ⑶color ⑷shapes and animals
A．⑴⑶ B．⑵⑶ C．⑶⑷ D．⑴⑷
36．Who is the most responsible(有责任的) for making banks in the shape of pigs
A．Pottery makers who worked with orange clay.
B．Pottery makers who didn't know what pygg was.
C．Customers who wanted banks with cute animal shapes.
D．Bankers who wanted something to keep people's money in.
37．You can see the passage ____.
A．on a school notice board B．on a movie poster
C．in a history magazine D．in a comic book

Five years ago, when my father was dying, I travelled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days. I felt very sad and it was one of the most difficult and painful times in my life.

But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost fell asleep at once.
The next morning, I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been left by his owner. His owner had moved out, so the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked backed to the flat, I tried to worked out what to do with him. Having another thing to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed.

Piggy banks(小猪存钱罐) have been around for a long time, but did you ever wonder why people thought to make their banks in the shape of a pig
Pigs have nothing to do with money. They don't store food like a camel or a squirrel（松鼠). So how did we end up using a pig as the style of a bank Believe it or not, it happened by mistake.
During the fifteenth century, metal(金属） was very expensive. Dishes and pots were made of a type of inexpensive orange clay called "pygg", which was pronounced just like "pig". At that time, there weren't banks like we have today, so people would store their money at home.
When people had extra coins to save, they would place them in clay jars or pots. Since the type of clay was called pygg, people called the jars "pygg banks". Over time this developed into piggy banks.
After a few hundred years, people forgot that the word "pygg" referred to the clay the banks were made from. The English language was also changing and the word "pig" was more commonly used. So in the 19th century, When English potters(陶艺家) began to make piggy banks, they thought their customers were asking for banks in the shape of pigs, not banks made from pygg.
Today piggy banks were made from all kinds of materials, and they also come in different shapes and animals. But the term "piggy bank" is still used.

I'm very thankful to the cat and it always makes me think of the time I was with him.
Five years ago, when my father was dying, I travelled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days. I felt very sad and it was one of the most difficult and painful times in my life.
After he passed away, I started alone in his flat. There were so many things to deal with. I was lonely and I hated the silence of the flat.
But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost fell asleep at once.
The next morning, I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been left by his owner. His owner had moved out, so the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked backed to the flat, I tried to worked out what to do with him. Having another thing to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed.
