Neither of these words describing pigs are exactly positive. Moreover, the truth is what pigs have some good qualities. And there's probably no good time to clear their names than now. According to a paper publishing in 2017, pigs can tell between those who treat them well or those who don't. Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep it in mind—their intelligence, cuteness and patience.

①country→countries 考查名词的数。句意：中国和西方国家可能对某些动物有不同的文化观念。此处表示不只一个国家，应用复数，故country改为countries。

②reached→reach 考查动词的时态。短文整体时态是一般现在时，故该句谓语用一般现在时，故reached改为reach。

③stupidly→stupid 考查形容词。句意：一谈到猪，我们会认为它们是懒惰的、丑陋的、愚蠢的和无耻的。此处用形容词作表语，故stupidly改为stupid。

④Neither→None 考查代词。句意：这些形容猪的词语都是贬义词的。上文提到的lazy、 ugly、 stupid、 shameless是四个，应用none。neither表两者都不，none是指三者及三者以上都不，故Neither改为None。

⑤Moreover→However 考查副词。句意：这些词没有一个是积极的，但是事实上猪的确有一些好的品质。根据句意可知此处表转折，故Moreover改为However。
