    湖畔有两棵树，一棵粗如熊腰，一棵细若手臂。给湖底清理淤泥时，它们被锯掉了。于是，岸上就多了两根树桩。一年过去了，小树桩上的嫩芽长成手指粗的枝条，大树桩上嫩芽长成了一丛灌木。花木工人他砍去了大树桩上多余的枝条，留下了最有希望的一枝，希望它长成材，可是，一点都没有用。三年后，这根拱过多次芽的大树桩在最后一根枝条枯萎后，悄无声息地死了。而小树桩最终却长成了一棵枝繁叶茂的参天大树……

根据短文理解，选择正确答案。

    The size and shape of your ears show your character 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 shape. 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(紧张的) character.
