扶手椅英文For the past five years,Paula Smith,a historian of science,has devoted herlf to1 recreating Iong-forgotten techniques.While doing rearch for her new book,she came across a16th-century French manuscript（手稿）consisting of nearly1,000ts of instructions,covering subjects from tool making to fin d ing the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious（神秘）as his name;he may have been simply taking notes for his own records.But Smith was struck mainly by2the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described."You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it,"she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand,doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playi ng around with French mud.Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（IE）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world,what objects filled their homes,and what went on in the work
shops that produced them.It can even help solve prent・day problems: In2015,scientists discovered that a10th-century English medicine for eye problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has also brought in s ights for muums,Smith says.One must know how an object was made in order to prerve it Whafs more,reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down：Scholars have en this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues.The sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours.We can't appreciate the kinds of details without eing works of art as they originally appeared—something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscripts ideas into practice.Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together:She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation,teamwork,and problem solving.
Back when science—then called"the new philosophy M—took shape,academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world.Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering（修补），as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experienee and craftwork,Smith says,we can
marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors4.（2020北京高考卷）

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.〔Do you want to be a good public speaker?Here are some principles you must master.
People want to liste n to some o ne who is in t eresting,relaxed and comfortable.Too ofte n when you stand up to give a speech,you focus on the"public”|t the e^p§n of5the"speaking”.
2Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audie n ee,be yourlf and make a conn e ction.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet,the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking.People's attention wanders constantly.In fact,most people only absorb about20percent of a speaker's message.So,don't stop speaking when you make a mistake unless ifs a truly rious one.3
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.4And like everything el in life,that takes practice.Remember,even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.6
5It's rare to hear some o ne say,"I wish that speaker had spoken longer.M O n the other
hand,you probably can't count the times that you've thought,*Tm glad that talk is over.It emed to go on forever!K So surpri your audienee.Always make your prentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.Ifs better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their ats waiting for your speech finally to end.（2020山东卷）
