Passage 5
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 very old science. In ancient times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale, 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 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, or he/she may just have high blood pressure. Ears are always cold and pale means that a person has a nervous character. And a big inside the ear means a person is musical.

1. In ancient times people thought that a person with big ears had a_______ and ________character.

Passage 7
In recent years, studying abroad has become more and more popular with middle school students. Tens of thousands of Chinese middle school students have gone abroad.
In my opinion, there are many advantages to attending school abroad. First, students who have studied abroad can act as mediator between people of different cultures. Second, there is so much to learn about science and technology in foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign languages more quickly.
However there are also some disadvantages. Many students are too young to take care of themselves. Being far away home can make you feel lonely and home sick. Also, of course it' s more expensive abroad than at home. What' s worse, without any experience of living abroad, it' s easy for them to make bad friends and be influenced to do stupid things.
In a word, think it over before you make your decision.
