Mrs. Thompson had noticed that Teddy didn’t play well with other children in her class. His clothes were a mess and he needed a bath. Mrs. Thompson marked all his papers with a big red “F” at the top.

At the end of the term, she had to review each child’s past records. When reviewing Teddy’s, she was surprised. Teddy’s first grade teacher had written, “Teddy does his work well and has good manners. He is a joy to be around.” His second grade teacher had written, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled by his mother’s illness.” His third grade teacher had written, “His mother’s death has been hard on him.” Teddy’s fourth grade teacher had written, “Teddy is not good at communicating and doesn’t have many friends.”

Mrs. Thompson felt shame about Teddy. She felt even worse when she received Teddy’s Christmas present – a bottle of perfume（香水）. She tried some of the perfume on her neck. Teddy stayed after school that day just long enough to say: “Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to.” She cried for at least an hour.

On that day, Mrs. Thompson began to pay attention to Teddy. As she worked with Teddy, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the better he performed. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.

We do eye exercises. We wear sunglasses. We do a lot of things to protect our eyes. But we usually forget another important part of our body – the ears.

Ears help us hear the world. But many things, such as loud noise can hurt your ears. Once this happens, it’s hard to get your hearing back.

March 3 is Ear Care Day. It reminds us to take good care of our ears. So how can we do this? Let’s take a look together.

Keep your ears dry and warm

Dry our ears with a towel after swimming or taking a bath. If you feel water in your ear, shake your head a little a bit. This can help you get the water out of your ear.

Also, when the sun is shining, use some sunscreen on your ears. During the winter, protect your ears with a hat or a scarf.

How to clean your ears

Usually, our ears can clean themselves. The earwax builds up, dries out, and then comes out of the ear along with some dirt.

So don’t clean your ears with anything sharp. Sharp objects can make the earwax go too deep into your ears and hurt them. But if the earwax is making you feel bad, you can ask a doctor for help.

How to use headphones

Don’t listen to loud music on your headphones for a long time. Follow the 60:60 rule: listen to music at 60 percent of your headphones’ maximum volume(最大音量）for no more than 60 minutes a day.

Over-the-ear headphones are better than in-ear ones. They do a better job of stopping outside noise, so you can listen at a lower volume.
