    If you, like me, were born in the Year of the Pig. then you are 3, thoughtful and loyal(忠诚的). The Year of the Pig is filled with good wealth.

    Now, let's 4 a closer look at this interesting animal. Pigs were first kept by man about 9, 000 years ago, and are still a very common5 animal in many parts of the world. We don't just use pigs for their meat—almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists' brushes. The fat is used 6 floor wax(蜡), rubber(橡胶) and plastics.

    Besides faster access, connectivity might get a little cheaper in future for users only if a complete 5G network is set up. However, the cost of programs and apps will go up. Meanwhile, users are in great need of ordering more monthly services. Comparatively speaking, users are likely to pay more for 5G services.
