The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part 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 a very old science. In ancient times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous (慷慨的) character. They thought that a person with pale (苍白的), 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 (特征) 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 (脾气), or he /she may just have high blood pressure. Ears that are always cold and pale mean that a person has a nervous character. And a big inside the ear means a person is musical.

　　When somebody dies, many people believe that the spirit of the person still lives. They believe that the spirit leaves the person's body at the moment he dies but then continues to exist outside the body somewhere else. Ghosts are often believed to be the spirits of the dead, who are showing themselves to the living. The spirit, or ghost, is present but not the body. That is a possible reason why ghosts can travel through solid walls.

　　Some people believe that it is possible to talk or communicate with spirits. This is called spiritualism. Most people can't speak to spirits directly themselves but there are people who have special powers which allow them to speak to the dead. These people are called mediums.

Many people believe that spirits know what is going to happen in the future so they ask a medium to ask the spirits what their future will be.
