Almost everyone has a piggy bank (储蓄罐), but did you ever wonder why people often make it in the shape of a pig?
Believe it or not, people made the piggy bank in the shape of a pig by mistake. In the Middle Ages, many containers (容器) at home were made of a kind of cheap clay (陶土) called pygg. The word “pygg” sounds the same as “pig”. At that time, there weren’t banks like we have today, so people would save their money at home in some clay containers. Because the kind of clay was called pygg, people called the containers pygg banks. Over time this became piggy banks. After several hundred years, people forgot that the word “pygg” meant a kind of clay.
The English language also changed. People used the word “pig” more commonly. So when English workers were asked to make “piggy banks”, they thought they needed to make containers in the shape of pigs. Surprisingly, the pig-shaped containers were popular.
Today piggy banks are made of all kinds of things, and they also come in different shapes and animals. But people still call those cute containers for money piggy banks.
根据材料内容完成下列任务。
任务一:判断正(T)误(F)。
【1】In old times, “pygg” was a kind of cheap clay.
【2】The banks we have today first appeared in the Middle Ages.
任务二:完成句子,每空一词。
【3】As time went on, “pig” became a more commonly-used ________ than “pygg”.
【4】Piggy banks are cute containers for ________ and they come in different shapes and animals.
任务三:选择最佳答案。
【5】What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Who invented piggy banks.
B. How piggy banks help save money.
C. When people began to make piggy banks.
D. Why piggy banks are often in the shape of pigs.
