A．The cartoon pig is not smart, either.
B．That’s why both children and adults find McDull cute.
C．However, the slow, silly pig has won over Hong Kong people.
D．According to his headmaster, McDull isn’t that silly. He’s just too kind.
E．The story is more than its funny points. It is pleasant and sour at the same time.
The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mum makes a wish that he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, but he is well-known only by a birthmark around his right eye.
Everything he tries, he fails. He wants to be an Olympic champion of qiangbaoshan （抢包山）, but the sport of catching the hottest baozi from a small mountain doesn’t really exist （存在）, of course. He dreams of going to the Maldives, but ends up on only a one-day tour of a Hong Kong landmark instead.
1. McDull was at first a supporting character in a story about his cousin McMug, a smart baby pig and “what parents expect of their children.” But interestingly, the wooden-headed McDull gradually became more attractive when he told his classmates that if he became the class monitor, he would treat everyone with strawberry cakes. McDull tried to speak out one sentence in his speech, “If you choose me, you will be...painful.” For him, it looks only a little bit different from an “A” when he gets an “E”. 2.
3. In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience （观众）, “I suddenly realize that there is something you cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no golden medal, no money... Actually, being silly is not funny---it could mean failure （失败）. Being fat is not funny. Being fat does not even mean you are stronger. Disappointment is not funny, either. When I grow up, and face the strict world that isn’t funny, what should I do?” He is still happy, however. He always starts again with a new dream when one fails him.
4. The popularity of McDull sometimes makes his creator Alice Mark confused, who has some simple thoughts, such as God creates humans, because he loves humans and he wants them to be happy. “Maybe people see themselves and their friends in McDull. McDull makes people realize that they used to be as simple and happy as him. If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a world full of problems. 5. ” says Alice Mark.
Tea bag drinking is most westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?
The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose （散的） tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze （薄纱） and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.

We have to accept the truth: Sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.

We may be really angry but we tried to bear things like those. According to ancient Chinese wisdom, we should shout in a loud voice instead of keeping silent. In fact, it’s good for our health.

“Sometimes I shout out and other shout back,” said Mrs. Gu, another shouting lover. “It makes you happy. You laugh and then you feel very comfortable. ”
