　　Passage 1

　　⑯Removing foreign objects from ears and noses cost England almost￡3 million a year, a study suggests. Children were responsible for the vast majority of cases. 95% of objects removed from noses, and 85%from ears. Every year,an average of 1,218 nose, and 2,479 ear removals took place between 2010 and 2016. According to England's Hospital Episodes Statistics,children aged 1 to 4 were the most likely to need help from doctors for a foreign object in their nose. ⑰5 to 9 year olds come to the hospital with something in their ears the most. Jewelry items accounted for up to 40%of cases in both the ears and noses of children.Paper and plastic toys for the items removed next most from noses.Cotton beds,and pencils were also found in ears.

　　⑱According to the study, the occurrence of foreign objects in children is generally attributed to curiosity. Children have an impulse to explore their noses and ears.This results in the accidental entry of foreign objects.Any ear,nose,and throat surgeon has many weird stories about wonderful objects found in the noses and ears of children and adults.
