In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Coffee shops, outdoor seating at restaurants, or your own easy chair are great places to settle in and enjoy reading your chosen paper. If you take the train to work, you can also read it there, on your way. If you're reading relaxation or pleasure, then you're approach might be less structured. If you're looking for a specific topic or for reading practice, you'll need to be more organized. Most English-language newspapers are written at range of reading levels, from about fifth grade to college level, so you should focus on the articles and sections that will probably fit your purpose. For example, the film reviews will be easier, and faster, reading, while reports on complicated economic topics might be more challenging and take more time. Reading a paper to practice a foreign language will help you learn about the issues that are important to speakers of that language and as well as to engage in the culture and learn new vocabulary. After you've gotten a sense of the overall paper, choose the section or article that has caught your attention, based on your reading purpose. You might choose a headline article on the front page, or you might skip to another section and begin reading sports. Use the table of contents as your guide. The editorial section contains opinionated articles rather than strictly factual news, such as the "Opinion" section in the Detroit Free Press, which may offer editorial perspectives on universal healthcare or the War on Terror. The lifestyle section usually has stories about the arts and commerce. Forbes, for example, may have articles about new movies, popular car models, and travel ideas. The entertainment section includes movie and theater reviews, as well as interviews with authors and artists and information about art galleries and other local and national events. Similarly, the sports section will report box scores from sports currently in season, and may include personal stories about players, coaches, or issues in the athletic world, such as the concussion problem in the NFL. If you're in a crowded space, like a train, fold your newspapers into quadrants for easier reading and less worry about bothering other people. You might find it easier to separate the various sections, usually marked by a letter, and deal with them one at a time, rather than trying to keep all of the pages in order. Folding a newspaper correctly is optional, although if you're passing it on to another person, it's courteous to put all of the sections back in place when you're done. Newspaper articles are usually written in an "inverted pyramid" structure, which means that the most significant information appears at the start of the story, rather than the end, followed by the details in order of importance. The first sentence, called the "lead" or "lede," is designed to catch readers' attention and provide the major details of the story to entice them to read further. Sidebars near significant stories offer analysis for understanding the "why" of the story. Read them first to have some context for the ideas. You can also read the articles' subheadings or callout quotes, if available, for an overview of major topics and notable comments in the story. Read the first few paragraphs, as these will contain the primary points of the article, and you'll be able to determine if you want to continue reading it. Read the rest of the article or move to a new one if you've lost interest or if it doesn't provide any information that you find worthwhile. Don't be afraid to jump to a new article or section if your purpose is satisfied or if you need a break from a difficult topic. For example, you may find reading too much about domestic violence is too distressing for a relaxing read, so you can decide to save an article about an upcoming domestic violence court case for later. Once you've finished with a section, you can set it aside as you find a new place to begin previewing and reading. By the time you've read all or most of the sections, you should feel a sense of satisfaction as you collect that new pile of papers for recycling or reuse. When you're reading the editorial section, or the "op-ed" (opposite the editorial page), remember that you're reading the opinions of those writers, and not necessarily straight facts. Before you begin, you should read the article title to get an idea of the topic, and then take a moment to consider your own opinion first. Even though the news section is strictly informational, being aware of your own opinions and biases before reading those articles will help you to be more open minded about difficult topics. Try reading opinion pieces that are in opposition to your own views. Even if you don't agree, you might learn something new, whether it's a different way to defend your opinion, or a new perspective on the issue altogether. Even if you're reading to relax, taking a moment to see the relationship between the articles you're reading and your own experiences or concerns can lead to a more enjoyable experience. Ask yourself: "Can I connect the ideas or events that I'm reading about to my own life and the other stories I've read about this topic?" Making connections between your TV news and Internet video clips and a printed newspaper will help you to become even more informed about the topic and engaged as a citizen.
Summary: Find a comfortable place to read your paper. Decide your reading purpose. Decide where you want to begin. Fold your paper so that you can read easily and comfortably. Preview the section you've chosen to read. Choose the article that you want to read and begin. Determine your own opinion and note your own biases. Connect your reading to your own life and other news sources.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The very first thing you should do is break out of your normal routine. Routines make us stagnant and keep up from changing as people. How you break out of your routine will depend on you, but even small changes can help you get used to doing new things so don't be afraid to start. . Thinking negatively, about ourselves, our abilities, and the world around us, can cause us to shy away from experiences and opportunities. Stop harping on yourself and instead remind yourself of all the good things about you. Stop thinking the worst of others or only focusing on the bad things in your life and start focusing on the good things. Don't let negative emotions like sadness, anger, fear, or envy ruin your life. Some experience of these emotions is natural, but letting them guide every action that you take is unhealthy and will reduce the quality of your experience of your life. Train yourself to calm down and find the good in things. Sometimes we forget how good we have things. Look around you an identify people who are worse off than you. Now look at your own life and identify the good things about it. Did you find lots of examples? Look for more! Research about how other people live, either by reading or by watching tv programs or documentaries.
Summary: Break out of your norm. Practice positive thinking Control your emotions. Get some perspective.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your weather map has station models, each one will plot the temperature, dew-point, wind, sea level pressure, pressure tendency, and ongoing weather with a series of symbols. Temperature is generally recorded in Celsius degrees and rainfall is recorded in millimeters. In the US, temperatures are in Fahrenheit and rainfall is measured in inches. Cloud cover is indicated by the circle in the middle; the extent to which it is filled indicates the degree to which the sky is overcast. There are many other lines on weather maps. Two of the most important kinds of lines indicate isotherms and isotachs. Isotherms These are lines on a weather map that connect points through which the isotherm passes have the same temperature. Isotachs These are lines on a weather map that connect points where the isotach passes have the same wind speed. A number on the isobars, such as "1008", is the pressure (in millibars) along that line. The distance between isobars is referred to as the pressure gradient. A large change in pressure over a short distance (i.e. close isobars) indicates strong winds. Wind barbs point in the direction of the wind. Lines or triangles coming off the main line at an angle indicate wind strength: 50 knots for every triangle, 10 knots for every full line, 5 knots for every half line.
Summary:
Read the station models at each point of observation. Study the lines on the weather map. Analyze the pressure gradient. Analyze wind strength.
