24、The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale, small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed if a person was musical. Today, too many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large, medium-size or small. Look at the lobes (the lowest part of the ear). Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he / she just has high blood pressure(高血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.
【1】As a baby grows up, _________.
A. the eyes may not change
B. the ears will not change in size
C. the face may not change
D. the ears will not change in shape
【2】We can guess Beethoven(a world-famous musician) may have________.
A. ears with a big inside hole B. round white ears
C. ears with a hole in the lobes D. big red ears

A. Ears don’t change B. The change of ears
C. Ears and characters D. Ears and colour
【4】Which sentence is right according to the passage?
A. Mr. Smith’s ears have big inside holes, he may be nervous.
B. Jack’s ears are always small and pale, he may have high blood pressure.
C. Tony’s ears are sometimes red, he may easily get angry.
D. Mary’s ears are big, she may be a good and generous person.
