Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older，but ears do not change their shapes. 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 character.1. When a baby is born, .A.his / her ears are red B.his / her ears will not change all the lifeC.his / her ears will not change in shape D.he / she will get large ears2. Reading peoples character from their ears is .A.only for music B.an old idea C.very new D.a good way to talk with others3.

The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. A woman lived there, but I had never met her before, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, I wonder why that woman doesnt wash her window. It really looks terrible.One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Later in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, I could see the woman sitting by her window clearly! Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings（短处）?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, Am I looking at him through my own dirty window? Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.（ ）6. The writer couldnt see everything clearly through the window because_.A. the womans window was dirty B. the writers window was dirtyC. the woman lived nearby D. the writer was near-sighted（ ）7、The writer was surprised that_.A. the woman was sitting by her window B. the womans window was cleanC.the woman did cleaning in the afternoon D. the womans window was still terrible（ ）8.

A. one shouldnt criticize others very often B. one should often make his windows clean C. one must judge himself before he judges others D. one must look at others through his dirty windows（C）Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they dont have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones. ( ) 11. Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?A.
