Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.Reading peoples character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a persons ears with colour was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today, too many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small. Look at the lobes（耳垂）. Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous(紧张的) character.（1）When a baby is born, _.A . his/ her ears are redB . his/ her ears will not change all the lifeC . his/ her ears will not change in shapeD . he/ she will get large ears（2）Reading peoples character from their ears is _.A . only for musicB . an old ideaC . very newD . a good way to talk with others（3）When ones ears are red, it means_.A . he is a kind manB . he is very happyC . he may get angry easilyD . he drinks too much（4）When ones ears are always cold and nearly white color, it means_A .

The objects that had been the companions(伙伴) of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to die out. Soon, wed all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called libraries and bookshops.But it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books. At least in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of paper books are rising. More surprisingly, its young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books. The most popular reason given was: I like to hold the product.Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading. It often starts with the way they get them. Many buyers of books like to write down their name on the inside cover when theyve bought one. And we carry books around with us everywhere. If theres a mark made on the pages from coffee or food, it doesnt matter. These accidents make the book our book even more personal. Its as if readers of physical books make friends with them. Of course, some could say that the devices on which people read e-books, like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like. But it isnt quite the same. A Kindle, can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library. But a story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favourite armchair enters our memory forever.
