C
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 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 (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed whether a person was musical or not. 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 or small. Look at the lobes( the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached(连着) 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.
(   )46.In the old times people might ask for help from a person with____________.
A. red ears        B. big ears        C. small ears        D. pale ears
(   )47. The passage is mainly about ___________.
A. the size of our ears                                B. musical ears
C. ears which related to characters                D. our faces and ears

        A. pale ears                B. white ears               
        C. small ears                D. ears with a big inside hole

According to a new survey(调查), student safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery(抢劫) on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities in China, some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens. Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School, gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.
    If you are robbed
    Keep calm. If you cannot cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.
    If you are in a traffic accident
    If a car hurts you. you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how seriously you are hurt.
    If it is raining hard and there is lightning(闪电)
    Don’t stay in high places and stay away from trees.
    When there is a fire
    Get away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.
    If someone is drowning(溺水)
    If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help.
    Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!
(    )36. Why do students like the self-protection lesson?
    ①Because there are no tests.
    ②Because the lesson is boring.
    ③Because they can learn how to save lives.
    ④Because they know how to stop danger before it happens.
      A.①②           B. ②③           C. ①②④         D. ①③④
(    )37. What will you do if a bicycle hurts you?
      A. I will remember the bicycle number.
      B. I won’t let the rider go until I call my parents.
      C. I will let the rider go before I call my parents.
