The size and shape(形状) of your ears show your character(性格) more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change as we grow 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(白皙的), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed whether(是否) a person was musical(有音乐天赋的) or not. At present, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you recognize(识别) a person with musical talent(才华).Ears are all different, and each characteristic(特征) has a meaning. Next time, when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes(叶). Are they attached to(连接) 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(紧张不安的) character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.18.Among all parts of the body,_________________________________________of a person’sears show his character most .
