The size and shape(形状) of your ears show your character more than any other parts 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.When a baby is born, 　　　　　 .

A. his / her ears are red

B. his / her ears will not change all the life

C. he / she will get large ears

D. his / her 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

3.Which may be the best title of the article?

A. Looking at a person in the right way

B. Ears and characters

C. The change of ears

D. Ears and colours

You might think that Olympic athletes are the healthiest people in the world. It’s true that many are. However, it’s also true that many Olympic athletes had to overcome(克服) illnesses early in their lives.

One excellent example is Wilma Rudolph. She competed in track-and-field events in the 1960 Olympics. She didn’t win just one gold. She won three. At the time, people called her “the fastest woman in the world.”

As a young child, Wilma could not take part in sports. She had a series of serious illnesses, and then, at the age of 4, she got polio. She lost the use of her left leg, and the doctor said she would never walk again.

Street art can be found on buildings, street signs and even dustbins from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers. Street art has become part of a culture which can be seen around the world. Now, even art museums and galleries(画廊) are collecting the works of street artists.

People have different thoughts about street art. Some think street art is bad, but others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression. Street art began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray(喷射) their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to show off themselves and their artwork. This style of drawing and writing became known as graffiti(涂鸦). Graffiti art showed that young people wanted to rebel(反抗) against the rules. They traveled around cities to make paintings that everyone could see.

Street artists do their work for some reasons. A number of them choose street art because it is closer to the everyday life. What they enjoy most is the freedom of expressing themselves which street art permits(允许). One well-known street artist is Swoon. She cuts out paper images of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn’t start her career as a street artist. She studied art but, as time went on, got bored with the works she saw in museums. Then she fell in love with graffiti. The people in New York enjoy Swoon’s strong and interesting style. Some museums have already bought some of her works.
