Scientists Reveal Simple Trick To Make You Seem More Persuasive

One simple trick can make you seem more persuasive when you're talking to people.

This is the discovery of University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Pennsylvania and University of Southern California (USC) researchers, who have revealed that while words are important, talking with your hands could hold more power.

In fact, "purposeful" hand gestures-and one type in particular-can make you appear both more convincing and competent.

Building on previous research exploring speech patterns and facial expressions, this is the "first" study to examine hand gestures at scale, according to the team.

Audiences can interpret illustrative gestures as a sign of mastery, explains paper author and information systems researcher professor Mi Zhou of UBC.

"If a person uses their hands to visually illustrate what they're talking about, the audience perceives that this person has more knowledge and can make things easier to understand," Zhou said in a statement.

Growing Up With A.I.: A Multimedia Challenge for Teenagers and Educators

Show us - in words or images, audio or video - how this technology is affecting you and the teenagers you know. Contest dates: Sept. 10-Oct. 22, 2025.

What's it like to think, create, teach and learn at a time when artificial intelligence is transforming our world?

What do you think its rise will mean for the generation in high school now?

This fall, we invite students and educators to explore these questions, and then show - in words or images, audio or video - how this technology is affecting you and the teenagers you know.

We know we don't have to explain to anyone in a classroom today just how profoundly generative A.I. has changed life in and out of school since ChatGPT was released in late 2022. Our goal, instead, is to learn from you, our core audience of middle and secondary students and teachers.

What is it like to grow up alongside A.I.? How, if at all, have you used it? What about it is surprising,. interesting or exciting? What is concerning, perplexing, scary - or even boring? What do you wish more people understood? What can you show or tell from your unique point of view that might add nuance to the conversation?

We can't wait to see what you'll make. Click on the topic headings below for more resources and details, and review the full rules here. You might also consider hanging this one-page announcement on your class bulletin board.

Questions? Post a comment here or write to us at [email protected].

(...)

The Challenge

This contest asks you to address one or both of these focus questions:

• What's it like to think, create, teach and learn at a time when artificial intelligence is transforming our world?

• What do you think its rise will mean for the generation in high school now?

How you address them is up to you. You can take on any aspect of the topic, big or small, negative or positive. You can focus on your life in or out of school, and you can work alone or with others.

Q4012187 Inglês

In a dialogue, one student says “The phone is ringing. I’ll get it,” and later says “I’m going to visit my aunt next weekend.” Mark the CORRECT statement about the contrast between will and going to.

A

Will often signals a decision made on the spot, while going to signals a prior intention or plan, matching a quick response to the phone and a weekend arrangement.

B

Will is used for fixed timetables and planned events, while going to is used for offers and promises, so the two lines illustrate the standard textbook distribution.

C

Going to expresses certainty and will expresses doubt, so I’ll get it reduces commitment, while I’m going to visit signals a weak intention that may change soon.

D

Will is preferred mainly with motion verbs like visit, while going to is preferred with event verbs like get, so the forms align mainly with verb choice rather than meaning.

E

Both forms act as simple future markers in everyday speech, so meaning stays stable, and the two lines show stylistic variation rather than difference in intention.

Q4012180 Inglês

To support reading in Portuguese-speaking contexts, a teacher explores cognates and false cognates with students. Analyze the statements.
I. A clear cognate pair guarantees identical meaning, so context checking becomes a minor step in reading.
II. Recognizing cognates can speed up global understanding, especially when combined with context and genre cues that confirm the intended sense.
III. False cognates can be handled by attending to collocations and typical patterns that differ between English and Portuguese in how words combine.
IV. A strategic move in reading is to treat a suspected cognate as a hypothesis and verify it against modifiers, examples or contrast cues nearby.
V. Early reading tasks should avoid cognates because learners tend to treat most cognates as false friends over time.
The CORRECT statements are:

A

I – II – III.

B

I – III – IV.

C

II – V.

D

II – III – IV.

E

I – II – III – IV – V.

Q4012179 Inglês

A news post shows a headline, a photo, a bar chart and a caption, and meaning shifts depending on how these modes interact. The key point about multimodal reading is.

A

The written headline carries the core meaning, and visuals mainly add mood, so careful readers can ignore images without changing the interpretation of the message.

B

The chart carries the meaning, so caption and layout become secondary, because numerical values remain stable and interpretation depends little on viewing path.

C

Modes work together, with visuals framing what the text highlights and layout guiding attention, so meaning emerges from integrating verbal, visual and spatial cues.

D

The photo steers the message, while the headline mirrors it closely, which reduces inference and makes readings converge for most viewers across contexts.

E

Layout shapes reading speed, yet meaning is settled by written sentences, so visual tension is typically resolved by prioritizing the text over the image.

Q4012178 Inglês

In classroom writing, linkers shape how readers connect ideas across sentences. Analyze the statements.
I. Linkers can create cohesion by making relations explicit, yet coherence also depends on how ideas develop across the paragraph.
II. However commonly signals contrast and, when placed at the start of a clause, it is typically followed by a comma in standard writing.
III. Because tends to introduce reasons, while so tends to introduce results, and swapping them can shift the direction of cause and effect.
IV. Replacing a contrast linker with an addition linker keeps meaning stable when both clauses share the same topic.
V. Cohesion is achieved mainly by increasing the number of linkers, because more connectors reduce ambiguity in any paragraph.
The CORRECT statements are:

A

I – II – III.

Q4012175 Inglês

A reading task asks students to find a date in a news article, explain the author’s stance, and infer the meaning of an unfamiliar word from nearby cues. Which sequence of strategies matches those three moves?

A

Skimming to locate the date, scanning to grasp the stance, and inferring the unfamiliar word by recalling a stored dictionary definition rather than reading surrounding sentences.

B

Scanning to capture the overall stance, skimming to locate the date, and inferring the unfamiliar word mainly through similarity to Portuguese forms that look familiar.

C

Skimming to capture the stance, scanning to locate the date, and inferring the unfamiliar word mainly through prefixes and suffixes, even when context points elsewhere.

D

Scanning to identify the stance, skimming to guess the date, and inferring the unfamiliar word from the headline, treating local sentence cues as secondary evidence.

E

Scanning to locate the date, skimming to capture the stance, and inferring the unfamiliar word from nearby sentence and paragraph cues that constrain its meaning.

Neanderthals cooked meals with pulses 70,000 years ago

Stone Age cooks were surprisingly sophisticated, combining an array of ingredients and using different techniques to prepare and flavor their meals, analysis of some of the earliest charred food remains has suggested.

Plant material found at the Shanidar Cave in Northern Iraq — which is famous for its burial of a Neanderthal surrounded by flowers — and Franchthi Cave in Greece suggested that prehistoric cooking by Neanderthals and early modern humans was complex, involving several steps, and that the foods used were diverse, according to a new study published in the journal Antiquity.

Wild nuts, peas, vetch, a legume which had edible seed pods, and grasses were often combined with pulses like beans or lentils, the most commonly identified ingredient, and at times, wild mustard. To make the plants more palatable, pulses, which have a naturally bitter taste, were soaked, coarsely ground or pounded with stones to remove their peel.

Source (Adapted): https://edition.cnn.com/2022/11/22/world/prehistoric-diets-plants-neanderthalsscn/index.html

About the pulses used by the Neanderthals:

A

It required some early preparation because of the husk, before eating.

B

It has a sweet flavor, because of this people only gathered and ate it.

C

It had to be stewed to take the poison of the food.

D

It was a very common food used during all the prehistory.

E

It was the most difficult technique which the people from 70,000 years ago could use.

Embrace what may be the most important green technology

ever. It could save us all

Let’s focus for a moment on technology. Specifically, what might be the most important environmental technology ever developed: precision fermentation.

Precision fermentation is a refined form of brewing, a means of multiplying microbes to create specific products. It has been used for many years to produce drugs and food additives. But now, in several labs and a few factories, scientists are developing what could be a new generation of staple foods. The developments I find most interesting use no agricultural raw material.

The microbes they breed feed on hydrogen or methanol – which can be made with renewable electricity – combined with water, carbon dioxide and a very small amount of fertilizer. They produce a flour that contains roughly 60% protein, a much higher concentration than any major crop can achieve (soy beans contain 37%, chick peas, 20%). When they are bred to produce specific proteins and fats, they can create much better replacements than plant products for meat, fish, milk and eggs. And they have the potential to do two astonishing things.

To the author, the precision fermentation:

A

is a very important tool to build a sustainable environment, but it is very expensive.

B

is less important than the drugs produced in the labs.

C

is a technology which develops a production of a new kind of basic foods.

D

can double the proteins of all the staple foods.

E

has to be supervised by the government, because it is very dangerous.

(1º§)According to hacking news website GBHackers, two bugs discovered by researchers could let attackers take control of people's accounts. WhatsApp has fixed the two "critical" security threats, which affect both the Android and iOS versions of the chat app.

(2º§)However, if you've not updated to the latest version of the app, you are still vulnerable. "Both vulnerabilities are marked under 'critical' severity ... and were found by the WhatsApp internal security team," GBHackers wrote.

(3º§)They added that hackers could exploit the flaws to hack your device using a dodgy video file or when on a video call. Once they've gained access to your phone, they could launch malware, steal sensitive data or even take control of the device.

(4º§)WhatsApp confirmed that it had fixed the bugs in an alert on its website. It named them CVE-2022-36934 and CVE-2022-27492.

(5º§)Details on the vulnerabilities are scarce in order to not give too much information away to crooks before users have updated. However, WhatsApp said that the exploitation of CVE-2022-36934 "could result in remote code execution in an established video call." CVE-2022-27492, on the other hand, "could have caused remote code execution when receiving a crafted video file."

(6º§)To protect yourself, make sure you're using the latest version of WhatsApp. To update your iPhone go to the Settings app and then press General.

(7º§)The next step is to select Software Update and your device should then meet the new requirements. If you use an Android, open Settings and select About Phone.

(8º§)Then press Check for Updates and if an update is available, a button will appear which says Update. After selecting Install Now, Reboot, or Install System Software, you should be good to go.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/19929691/

According to the text, two bugs have been discovered that can:

A

Associate ordinary people's accounts with famous people's accounts.

B

Hack WhatsApp security software and erase all chat history.

C

Clone people's credit card accounts.

D

Allow attackers to take control of people's WhatsApp accounts.
