Marianne, a schoolgirl, was learning to play the piano, and day after day her father stood behind as she played. How patient and loving her father was, and how cleverly he   1__  Marianne how to play the difficult piece! And there, almost lost in the big chair, sat Wolfgang. Nobody told him to   2  when Marianne was playing.

One evening the father said to Marianne that she had done very well. At the moment Wolfgang climbed onto his father’s leg and said to his father that he wanted to   3  the wonderful piece.

What a joke that was! He picked up his baby son, laughed, and said, “Look at your   4          hands. Why, you cannot span (横跨) the keys yet, you must wait, little man. You must wait!”

There was no end of fun during tea, and Marianne told her mother about Wolfgang   5  to play one of the pieces.   6  a while, the father stood up. “Listen!” said he. “Listen! Marianne is playing that piece   7  than ever!" But Marianne was washing plates in the kitchen.

His wife following, he moved upstairs quietly, pushed the door, and saw little Wolfgang __8__  in the darkness (黑暗). “I love it   9 !” said the child. It was the   10  of Mozart’s life of music.

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’s 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.
【小题1】When a baby is born,       . 

Everything that humans hear is in the form of waves(波). Just as the eye sees light waves in the form of colors, the ear hears sound waves in the form of noises. The ear and the eye turn these different waves into signals that the brain(大脑) can make sense of.
The ears and brain have an amazing ability to recognize(识别) particular sounds. For example, a mother often can tell when her baby is crying even if there are other crying babies in the same room. This is because the sound of her baby’s cry has special meaning to her and the brain has recorded its importance.
The ability to recognize sounds improves with experiences. As the brain receives information about sounds from day to day, it stores the information in its memory. When the brain hears new sounds, it gives meaning to them based on the information already in the memory. This is why certain words or songs can make a person happy. Often it is not the words or songs themselves that cause this feeling. The sounds are connected to happy memories for that person.
Another hearing process controlled by the brain is to decide where a sound is coming from. One ear is usually closer to the source(来源) of a sound than the other ear is. Sound waves are stronger when they reach the ear that is closer. They also reach the closer ear first. The brain recognizes these differences and uses them to decide the location of the source of the sound.
