At night, you fall asleep while listening to beautiful music. In the morning, the singing of birds outside wakes you up. You can enjoy all of these things because of one important organ(器官)— the ear.
You may wonder: how do our ears work? The ear has three different parts: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear is the part you can see. It collects sound around you. The sound then travels down to the middle ear, the inner ear and then to your brain.
Your ears never stop working, even when you are asleep! Your ears continue hearing sounds, but your brain just ignores (忽略) them. That's why you may sometimes wake up suddenly in the middle of the night—your brain hears something, but you don't know what it is, since you are asleep.
But ears do more than hear. They help you keep your balance, too. In the inner ear, there are organs that are filled with liquid (液体) and covered in small hairs. When you move your head, the liquid and hairs move, too. They send messages to your brain about the position of your head.
More surprisingly, ears even help with tasting food. Of course, you don't actually taste food with your ears. But there are nerves (神经) running through the middle ear that connect the tongue (舌头) to the brain.
The ears are truly important. Everyone should make sure to protect their ears as well as they can.
