Although I was a secondary education major,working with fifth graders was very memorable. One of my
weekly tasks was to lead a reading group of aboutfive students. It was tiring，butI fully enjoyed getting to know
theirstrengths(长处)andalittlebitabouteachstudentapartfromtheirstudies.
As the weeks went on，I found myself further involved in (参与) more classroom activities，often helping
students one by one or in small groups. The students never stopped amazing me—they were always ready to take
part in class activities and share their ideas. For each class，I usually spent a long time preparing it. I also loved
learningfromotherteachers，andtakingnoteoftheirexcellentteachingskills，someofwhichIhopedtouseinmy

Pigs may be more intelligent than people thought, as shown in a study where pigs used a joystick (操纵杆)
and played a video game. Researchers used 2-year-old Panepinto micro pigs called Ebony and Ivory, as well as
Hamlet and Omelet, 3-month-old Yorkshire pigs. Researchers first taught these pigs how to play with a joystick,
teaching them the word, “joystick”. Next, on the words “watch the screen”, they learned how to watch targets (目
标)onthescreen.Ofcourse,praisewasgiventotheactivepigswinningagame.
During the experiment, all pigs performed well. As they became more successful, the level of difficulty
increased,justlikeinhumanvideogames!Atfirst,thepigshadtohitathree-walledtargetwhichwasthenreduced

All pigs did well with the three-walled targets; however, the Panepinto pigs performed better on the more
difficult levels. One disadvantage for the Yorkshire pigs was that they simply grew so large that they could no

Dr. Candace Croney, a leading animal behavior scientist in Cambridge, said, “The findings of the study are
important because what we do to pigs matters to them. It would be nice for people to realize how specialpigs are,
and how much more intelligent they may be than we recognized. The researchers said that the pigs’actions were
deliberate(故意的).Thisledthemtobelievethatpigswereableto,successfullydonewtasks.
“It may encourage other researchers to use touch screens and computer technology to study pigs intelligence
in the future,” Croney said.The team hopes this type of research will make people pay more attention to this farm
