13.How to Care for Your Ears?
Ears not only let us hear,but they also play a role in maintaining our balance,which is vital to our ability to function in daily life.Yet,we ignore them.We can't even see our ears,except in a mirror.We take for granted what they do for us day in and day out-until we notice something's wrong,such as when an earache strikes or when we start having to ask people to repeat what they say.(16)D
◆Clean your ear with a washcloth-covered finger only.
Never put anything inside your ear canal,including cotton swabs (药签).(17)G
