No, pigs save nothing. So why do we save coins in a piggy bank? Because someone made a mistake. During the Middle Ages, in about the fifteenth century, metal was expensive and seldom used for household wares (家用器具). ____37____ Whenever housewives could save an extra coin, they dropped it into one of their clay jars. They called this their pygg bank or pyggy bank. Around the eighteenth century, the spelling of pygg changed. The word sounded the same as the word for the animal pig. Over the following 200 to 300 years, people forgot that pygg meant the clay. ____38____ In the nineteenth century, when English potters received requests for piggy banks, they misunderstood. ____39____ The pigs became popular among customers and delighted kids. Another reason for the name “piggy bank” is based on the idea that the coins given to the piggy bank represent the food fed to a pig by a farmer. It costs the farmer money to feed the pig and he doesn’t get it back until the pig is slaughtered (屠宰) for meat. ____40____ A. They produced jars shaped like a pig. B. Instead, dishes and pots were made of a kind of economical clay called pygg. C. Squirrels gather nuts to last through the winter. D. And the term “pygg jar” gradually changed into pig bank, or piggy bank. E. This is known as “breaking the piggy bank”. F. Today, pigs are still one of the most popular forms of coin banks sold in gift shops. B. （6分） Choose the best answer.

His story on Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes is one of the most amazing survival stories ever told. In 1985, Simpson and his climbing partner Simon Yates reached the top of the 21,000-foot mountain safely. But on their way down, disaster struck: Simpson fell and broke his leg seriously. A violent storm was coming. Yates tried to lower Simpson down the mountain with ropes. However, Simpson slipped over an edge and hung in the air. Yates could not see or hear Simpson. He felt the rope pulling him off the mountain too. Yates made the painful decision to cut the rope and Simpson fell into a deep crack in the ice. Everyone thought he was dead. But amazingly, he survived the fall. With terrible injury, he climbed deeper into the ice field and found a way out. Then came the most difficult part. For three days, he dragged himself across the ice and rocks. He had no food and only a little water from melted snow. He was hardly conscious and near death when he finally reached the base camp—just a few hours before Yates was going to leave the mountain. Later, medical experts said that what Simpson did should have been impossible with his injury. He wrote his story in the book Touching the Void. It shows that when people want to live badly enough, they can do things that seem impossible. Researchers who study survival say that mental strength is more important than physical strength. Dr. John Leach, a survival psychologist from the University of Portsmouth, found that most people die not because of their injuries, but because of their minds. According to his studies, about 75% of people become “frozen” in a disaster. They can’t think clearly and do confused things. About 15% panic and do what makes the situation worse. Only 10% stay calm and think clearly—these are the people who usually survive. “Mental strength” is important for survival. Another important thing is the “will to survive”. This is a strong decision to keep going no matter what happens. People with this will break big impossible challenges into small, easy steps. They always have a reason to keep living, even in the darkest moments. Our bodies have amazing abilities to get used to extreme situations. When our lives are in danger, special systems turn on by themselves to help us. When it is very cold, our bodies first cut down blood flow to our hands and feet. This is called peripheral vasoconstriction (外周血管收缩) (it keeps our heart, lungs and brain warm). That is why fingers and toes get frostbite first. The most amazing response is the “fight or run” reaction. When we are scared or hurt, our bodies release special chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol (肾上腺素和皮质醇). These chemicals can make us stronger for a short time, make us feel less pain or even stop us from bleeding too much. This is why people sometimes do impossible things in emergencies, like lifting a car to save someone trapped under it. Task 1: Answer the questions. （回答问题） 57.
