单项选择题

Passage One

Contrary to its rather negative reputation in the West, pigs in Chinese culture are a sign of kindness and generosity. Pigs care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Chinese people view the pig as a smart and prosperous animal. Western ideas tend to be a little more negative. When talking to a Westerner, however, you have to be a little careful when you talk about pigs. 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 quite 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.

 

According to the passage we can see that Chinese people think of the pig as a （）animal.
