Read the passage and answer the question.

Differences in Gestures and *Facial Expressions
One day I turned on the TV set to the educational channel of NHK. The TV set
was an old one and the picture came onto the screen but the sound did not come on
immediately. The program was a panel discussion in which four Japanese men werediscussing something. I watched the picture on the screen and waited for the sound toincrease so that I could hear what they were talking about.
Suddenly, I realized something interesting.

I did not know which of the four

men was speaking. I continued to watch the screen but I still did not know who wasspeaking. I began to wonder why. Then I realized a few things.
First of all, I realized that Japanese people do not use big gestures much. They
do not wave their arms, shake their hands in the air or move their fingers as much as
Americans do. They do not use their shoulders, shake their heads or turn their *torsos
as much as we do.
Secondly, I noticed that Japanese people do not use as many facial expressions
as we do. Americans may raise their *eyebrows, open their eyes wide, curl their lips
down and do many other things while talking. Of course Japanese people have somefacial expressions but they do not use them as much or as often.
If you watch people having a panel discussion on American TV, I am sure thatyou can tell which one is speaking, even if there is no sound from the TV set.
body movements and facial expressions will all clearly tell you who is speaking.

Read the passage and summarize in Japanese in 100 to 120 characters.

*Stars
A star is a big ball of fire in space that makes lots of light and other forms ofenergy. A star is mostly made up of *gases and something like fire, only much hotter.
There are thousands of *explosions happening all over a star all the time.

This iswhere the star’s heat and light come from. These explosions are also where a star getsits color from.
Our sun is a star. It is the closest star to our planet, and it sends its energy to theEarth as heat and light. The sun seems large to us, but it is only a medium sized star(called a *yellow dwarf). Other stars can be different colors. Some stars have moreenergy than our sun and burn even hotter than our sun does. Stars that are hotter thanour sun may look blue or white. Stars that are cooler than our sun may look orange orred.
