In Japan, actors perform in Kabuki plays. The word “Kabuki” is made up of three Japa nese words meaning song, dance and ability. Kabuki actors do not look like the actors in American plays. American actors dress and look like real people. In Kabuki plays, the actors wear bright-colored robes and wigs. Their robes are very large, and their wigs do not look like real hair. American actors wear make-up, but their make-up does not often hide their faces. Kabuki actors paint their faces chalk white. They draw black eyebrows above their real eyebrows. They outline their eyes in black or red. Their mouths are bright red. They look as if they are wearing masks. An actor performing in an American play must make his face look happy, sad or angry. Make–up helps the Kabuki actor show his feelings. If an actor is going to show anger, he paints dark blue or red lines on his face. His make-up makes him look angry.

When I had last seen him, he was knee-high to a grasshopper(蚂蚱, with shy eyes, ears like two fans, two front teeth missing, short hair and continually dirty hands. You know, the look that fits every nephew. I liked and was closely attached to him. With that knee-high-to-a-grasshopper size, he used to look up at me as if viewing a telephone pole, his blue eyes smiling and secretly making fun of me. The legs sticking out of his short pants were a little bent. Through his eyes were straight, he appeared a bit cross-eyed. I felt sorry when I looked at him. When we talked, he seemed to have a weight on his shoulders and appeared offended. When he was guilty, his eyes grew wet and his voice softened to where he could hardly be heard. Those who saw him thought him an orphan(孤儿and felt sorry. They felt like putting their hands in their pockets and giving him some spending money or candy. In spite of my hitting my other nephews for any old thing, this one I couldn’t touch. I loved the little son of a gun! At home, no matter who got angry, our nephew managed to keep his distance. If you spoke to him, he didn’t reply. If he did answer, it was quietly. Even if you hit him, he was quiet. When taking a beating, instead of increasing, his wailing(嚎啕哭号decreased.

D UNITED NATIONS – Irans UN Mission sent a letter Thursday requesting that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad be allowed to speak before the Security Council when it votes on new sanctions(制裁 against Tehran for its refusal to delay uranium（铀）development, the council president said. South Africas UN Ambassador Dumisani Kumalo said he would present Irans request to the 14 other council members Friday. Under the UN Charter and Security Council rules, if a member state has an issue before the council and requests to appear before its members, "this must be considered." The request from Irans UN Ambassador Javad Zarif arrived as the councils five vote-wielding members(常任 理事国 and Germany agreed on new sanctions to step up the pressure on Tehran to delay development.
