【本文】Pig BeachBig Major Cay in the country of the Bahamas is a small island with a beautiful beach known as Pig Beach. On this island, visitors can see and sometimes play with pigs swimming near the beach. In recent years, these pigs have gained popularity worldwide because of social media. This has led many tourists to visit the island to see this unique sight. As a result, this has had some negative impact on these animals.These pigs are not native to the island, and nobody knows exactly how they arrived there. One story says that old sailors left their pigs on the island. Another story suggests that the pigs swam to the island after escaping from a broken ship. Some people believe the pigs were brought there by farmers from a nearby island. In any case, after these pigs learned that humans, especially tourists today, would feed them, they made the place their home.Today, tourists who come to see the pigs sometimes cause problems. They often give the pigs various kinds of food, but much of it is not good for their health. This could make the pigs sick. Some reports said that pigs ate harmful items, such as plastic. In the past, some of the pigs died after people fed them on the beach, as they had also eaten too much sand with the food.To protect the pigs, several organizations and the local government are taking action. For example, they have started campaigns to educate tourists on how to behave properly around the swimming pigs. They are also cleaning up the beach and making stricter rules on feeding the pigs. They aim to improve the situation for both the pigs and the environment through more eco-friendly tourism. These events have also made people reconsider how humans should interact with wild animals.What is true about Big Major Cay?

1.Social media has made it famous for its large, beautiful beach.

2.There are pigs living there without any contact with humans.

3.This island, where pigs live, offers tourists a very unusual view.

4.It experienced a drop in tourists in recent years due to the pigs.

(27)

One possible explanation for the pigs being on the island is that

1.people brought them to attract tourists.

2.a broken ship landed there with them inside.

3.they originally came from this island.

4.sailors brought them but left them behind.

(28)

How are the pigs affected by tourists?

1.They feel stressed when tourists touch them carelessly.

2.They are fed food that is not good for them to eat.

3.Their homes are being destroyed because of plastic trash.

4.Too many tourists drive them away from their homes.

(29)

What was done to protect the pigs on the island?

1.The government provided locals with information on how to handle them.

2.The government made a rule that no tourists could go to the island.

3.Some groups were working to teach tourists how to treat them correctly.

4.Some groups were cleaning the beach without the help of the government.
