In an age where huse calls are becming a relic f the past，ne West Michigan dctr is bringing them back — with a twist （转折）.His patients d nt have heartstrings，but they d have 88 keys and a different kind f string altgether.Meet Jsiah Jacksn，knwn acrss scial media as "The Pian Dctr." At just 21 years ld，he is already bked mnths in advance，with a waiting area that stretches acrss West Michigan.His specialty is giving vice back t instruments that have been silent fr years.
Jsiah has everything needed t treat his patients：steady hands and a gd pair f ears.But when yu call fr a tune-up，yu hardly expect smene s yung t arrive. "I get that a lt，" he admits.Yet age matters little when the instruments he wrks n are ften lder than their wners.He explains that pians are far mre cmplex than they appear，with many mving parts that require careful attentin and deep understanding.
Sme might say Jsiah was brn fr this wrk.Sme f his earliest memries invlve sitting at a pian.Althugh he nce dreamed f becming a perfrmer，he later realized that life n stage was nt what he truly wanted.At 17，he discvered pian tuning.He cntacted a lcal tuner，fllwed him fr a day，and sn entered a supprtive cmmunity eager t welcme yunger members.
What began as curisity quickly became a prfessin.Jsiah started his business while still in high schl，building his wn website and handling all the scheduling himself.Nw，he wrks lng hurs and is bked far in advance.He is even preparing t hire an apprentice （学徒），hping t pass n skills that are becming increasingly rare.
Scial media has helped him reach a wider audience，but his values remain traditinal.He believes many mdern prducts are made t be thrwn away，while pians are built t last.

As smene wh studies cmmunicatin，I'd nticed hw sme speakers seemed instantly clearer when they gestured.This made me wnder：D gestures actually make cmmunicatrs mre effective？The shrt answer is yes，but nly when the gestures visually represent the idea yu're talking abut.Researchers call these mvements "illustratrs." When talking abut distance，yu might spread yur hands apart while saying smething is "farther away." When explaining hw tw cncepts relate，yu might bring yur hands tgether while saying "these ideas fit tgether." When describing hw the market demand "is ging up and dwn，" yu culd visually shw a wave shape with yur hands.
T study gestures at scale，my team and I analyzed 200，000 vide segments （片段） frm mre than 2，000 TED talks using AI tls that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame.We paired this with cntrlled experiments in which ur study participants evaluated entrepreneurs （创业者） presenting a prduct.
The same pattern f results appeared in bth settings.In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data，illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluatins，reflected in mre than 33 millin nline "likes" f the vides.And in ur experiments，1，600 participants rated speakers wh used illustrative gestures as mre clear，cmpetent and persuasive.
What I fund is that these gestures give listeners a visual shrtcut t yur meaning.They make abstract ideas feel mre cncrete，helping listeners build a mental picture f what yu're saying.This makes the message feel easier t prcess — a phenmenn psychlgists call "prcessing fluency." And we fund that when ideas feel easier t grasp，peple tend t see the speaker as mre cmpetent and persuasive.
But nt all gestures help.Mvements that dn't match the message — like randm waving，fidgeting （坐立不安） r pinting t things in the space — ffer n such benefit.In sme cases，they can even distract.A practical takeaway：Fcus n clarity ver planned gestures.Think abut where yur hands naturally illustrate what yu're saying — emphasizing size，directin r emtin — and let them mve with purpse.
8.Why are the examples mentined in paragraph 1？ ______
A. T cmpare different types f gestures.
B. T explain why gestures attract attentin.
C. T shw hw gestures reflect spken ideas.
D. T list cmmn mistakes in public speaking.
9.Hw did the researchers cnduct the study？ ______
A. By attending many live TED talks.
B. By judging the verall quality f talks.
C. By cllecting nline likes fr sme talks.
D. By reviewing talks and testing audiences.
10.What can be inferred abut listeners when speakers use illustrative gestures？ ______
A. They give pririty t visual meaning.
B. They judge the speaker mre favrably.
C. They ntice mre gestures than cntent.
D. They shw less interest in abstract ideas.
11.What is the authr's suggestin t speakers？ ______
A. Designing sme gestures in advance.
B. Fcusing n the frequency f gestures.
C. Reducing gestures t avid distractin.
D. Keeping gestures purpseful and relevant.

In 2019 alne，the US generated 66 millin tns f fd waste.60 percent f that waste ended up in landfills.Accrding t ne reprt，the carbn dixide generated frm fd waste is equal t the emissins f 42 cal-fired pwer plants.
T address this issue，a pair f researchers frm the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy develped an AI-assisted 3 D printer capable f cnverting fd waste int everyday kitchen items like cups.They hpe their inventin，called the Fdres-Ai Printer，can repurpse waste befre it reaches trash cans，helping t develp "hyper-lcal circular （循环的） ecnmies."
The printer perates with a mbile app.Users take a pht f the waste，and then the app's bject detectin AI mdel analyzes the image.Once the bject is identified，the app suggests pssible "recipes" fr items it culd be cnverted int.Users can chse frm pre-made mdels，such as glasses，r create their wn custm bjects.After an bject is selected，the device autmatically adds natural additives and cnverts them int a biplastic paste.This paste is then fed int a system with autmated heating，which shapes the mixture int the final prduct.Users can pen a panel t get their item.
"The entire prcess，after lading the material，requires just a single buttn press and is designed t be accessible even t peple with n prir experience using a 3 D printer." Biru Ca writes n her website.
By turning everyday fd waste int useful bjects，the Fdres-Ai Printer shws hw technlgy can reshape daily habits.Instead f thrwing waste away，husehlds are given a practical way t reuse it.If such devices becme mre cmmn，they culd reduce pressure n landfills while encuraging peple t take part in mre sustainable and respnsible living.
12.Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the text？______
A. By telling a persnal stry abut fd waste.
B. By describing the harmful effects f fd waste.
C. By presenting data n the severity f fd waste.
D. By explring the underlying causes f fd waste.
13.What des the underlined wrd "cnverting" in paragraph 2 prbably mean？______
A. Clarifying.B. Releasing.C. Separating.D. Transfrming.
14.What aspect f the new printer des paragraph 3 fcus n？______
A. Its design prcess.B. Its wrking principles.
C. Its ptential effect.D. Its critical cmpnents.
15.Which f the fllwing can best describe the Fdres-AI Printer？______
A. Time-saving but weighty.B. Single-purpse and cstly.
C. User-friendly and innvative.D. Energy-efficient but cmplex.

Excitement filled me as I prepared that mrning.Layers f thick clthes were put n ne by ne，and my camera was carefully checked befre being placed int my bag.Everything felt just right，and I was in a cheerful md when I met Jack at the park entrance.We talked abut angles，light，and the kind f phts that might stand ut.
Ice Lake Park was quiet and beautiful.As we walked deeper int the park，the number f visitrs slwly decreased.The further we went，the mre impressive the scenery became.Tall trees std still in the cld air，and I hung my camera bag n a branch nearby，thinking it wuld keep it ut f the way while we tk phts.The frzen lake lked smth and clear under the winter sun.The silence made the place feel special，and we decided t stay in this area t take phts，unaware f the danger hidden beneath the ice.
Jack mved arund，trying t find the best psitin，while I fcused n adjusting my camera.He suggested stepping clser t the lake t capture its reflectin.A slight sense f unease crssed my mind，but the beauty f the scene made me hesitate t stp him.Everything seemed calm and harmless.
Withut warning，a sharp cracking sund brke the silence.I lked up just in time t see the ice under Jack's feet break apart.In the next secnd，he fell straight int the freezing water.My heart raced as Jack struggled in the lake，brken ice flating arund him.His face was filled with fear，and his desperate shuts eched acrss the empty area.Realizing that n ne else was nearby made the situatin even mre frightening.
