2．Tile person with 　　　　, 　　　　ears was thought dangerous．

The size and shape 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 very old science．In ancient 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 or not．Today, too, many people believe that the size and shape of the ear helps you know if a person is musical．

Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning．Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-sized, or small．Look at the lobes(耳垂)．Are they attached to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may have a temper, or he／she may just have high blood pressure．Ears are always cold and pale means that a person has a nervous character．And a big inside the ear means a person is musical．
