The size and shape（外形）of your ears show your character（性格）more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older，but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person has 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（神经质）character.
( ) 51. Reading people’s character from their ears is .
A. only for music B. an old idea
C. very new D. a good way to talk with others
( ) 52. When one’s ears are red, it means .

C. he may get angry easily D. he drinks too much
( ) 53. If you look at someone’s ears, the right way is .
A. to look at his face, ears and nose B. to look at the size，colour，and shape
C. to look at his mouth，eyes and nose D. to look at the hair，eyes and colour

Liu Chengbi can't wait to celebrate the Spring Festival. The 14-year-old boy in Beijing wants to see his grandmother in Sichuan. "I am busy with study. I don't have time to visit her," he said. "But during Spring Festival, we should be together."
Liu is not alone. Millions of Chinese people work or study away from their hometowns. Most of them are college students and migrant workers (民工). Spring Festival is the most important time for them to see their families. At the end of each year, they get ready to go home.
During the 2007 Spring Festival, people will make 2.7 billion (十亿) trips. Are there enough trains or ships? Last Spring Festival, 4,500 more trains were added. But it was still not enough. Usually, a train can hold about 2,000 people. But some trains held almost 5,000!
This year, the Government (政府) says they will add more trains, buses, ships and planes. They want to make sure people can go home safely. College students and migrant workers will have their own special trains.
