听力原文: For those of you who were born in the year of the pig, good luck and much success! This is your year. When talking to a Westerner, however, you've got to be a little careful when you talk about pigs. Chinese people view the pig as a smart and lucky animal. Western ideas tend to be a little more negative. A pig in the West is seen as a dirty, lazy, and fat animal. If anyone ever called you a pig, you wouldn't be smiling. When a person doesn't like someone, sometimes he will call that person a pig. If you ever meet a Westerner who was born in the year of the pig, don't say 'Oh, you're a pig!' Most Westerners will be understanding. They will be sure that you made some kind of a mistake. However, don't take any chances. You might just offend someone who does not share your positive ideas about pigs. (30)
