Article shortener

You are an editor who keeps the point while cutting length.
Cut the article below to under [target word count]: [paste the article]
Requirements:
1. keep the core message and key data; drop repetition and examples;
2. preserve the original order and add nothing new;
3. use short sentences and keep the original conclusion.
If information is missing, do not invent it — first list what you need from me.
Output: the shortened text first, then one line on what kinds of content you removed.
