INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In law school, a professor might call on you at random to discuss a case. There is no way to anticipate the questions your professor will ask. However, you can put yourself in the best position by thoroughly reading your assigned material and briefing cases. You might feel panic when called on. However, if you've done your reading, then you've put yourself in the best position to engage in a Socratic exchange. Take a deep breath and then smile. It's best to think of the Socratic questioning as a dialogue between you and your professor. Block out the other students listening in. The purpose of the Socratic method is to identify the contradictions and limitations in our own knowledge. For this reason, you need to be honest in your answers. Don't try to anticipate what you think the professor wants to hear. If you're in law school, you should know the facts of the case and the court's holding. However, apart from the facts, there are rarely "right" or "wrong" answers. Try to get into the spirit of the questioning by understanding its purpose: not to find the right answer, but to understand what you truly think. You'll handle some complicated material in class, so your answers to questions might not be "yes" or "no." Try to answer as clearly and completely as possible so that your professor understands your point. At the same time, strive to be as brief as possible. There's no reason to give a long-winded answer if one isn't required. As you listen to a Socratic exchange, you are probably answering the questions yourself and struggling along with your classmate. Accordingly, there is no reason to be embarrassed if you are on the receiving end of Socratic questioning and have a deer-in-the-headlights look. You might reach a point where you can't resolve the contradictions in your thinking. At this point you are truly stumped. Feel free to admit that you don't know how to answer a question. Remember that the Socratic method is something you can use with yourself throughout your life. You should constantly interrogate what you think is true.

SUMMARY: Prepare for class. Remain calm. Answer questions honestly. Be as clear as possible. Realize no one is judging you. Admit when you are stumped.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's normal for kittens to sleep through most of the day, especially young ones. When they are awake, though, they are full of energy. Let them nap, but provide scratching posts, toys, and things to climb for when they wake up. A bored kitten during the day is a hyper kitten at night. Keep most of the exciting, interactive toys hidden when you're not actively involved. If you leave a toy out on the floor all day, the cat usually loses interest. Do not leave out toys with string, since these can be dangerous when tangled around the kitten. Puzzle games are an excellent way to keep the cat entertained. These challenge the cat to open a container to reach a treat inside. Cats are most active around dusk and dawn, not through the entire night. A daily play session in the late evening, roughly an hour before bed, will help sync this schedule to your own. You can mimic play fighting with a toy on a string, play fetch with a ping pong ball, or play chase with a laser pointer. Rotate toys to keep it exciting and to provide a mix of stalking, chasing, pouncing, and toying with the "prey." Wake the kitten up if necessary. You shouldn't have to keep this up for too long before your pet learns that evenings are for play and nights are for sleep. It's best to end playtime before the kitten gets bored. First, spend five minutes slowing down the pace of play to calm the kitten down. Find a clear way to signal that playtime is over, for example by letting the kitten catch an extra enticing toy. If your kitten is getting hyperactive near the end of playtime, distract its attention to a less exciting toy. Make this a high-protein meal that completes the kitten's food needs for the day. Cats in the wild hunt, then eat, then sleep, so this playtime and food routine mimics this pattern. If your cat wakes you up in the morning meowing for food, delay the evening meal until just before you get in bed, instead of before you get ready. This way the cat has less time to wait between meals. Start your normal bedtime routine with the kitten watching. This teaches your kitten which activities signal bedtime for both of you, and helps establish a routine. Turn out the lights and bring the kitten to its bed. Hopefully the kitten will be tuckered out at this point. If not, calm it down with cuddles or by playing relaxing "music for cats" from online playlists. Repeat this routine every day, and the kitten should learn to adapt. Cats are natural observers and enjoy being up high to observe household activities. A high perch or "cat condo" is a great sleeping spot, as long as your kitten is old enough to climb it safely.

SUMMARY: Allow rest and stimulation during the day. Wear out the kitten with evening playtime. Bring playtime to an end. Give the kitten a bedtime meal. Head to bed. Calm the kitten in a comfortable sleeping area.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: They may turn more yellow and grow softer, but they will not necessarily become sweeter or juicier. If you get an under-ripe lemon and leave it on your counter, it may turn more yellow but it will still taste bitter. The ideal place would be on your kitchen counter, away from direct sunlight. After a few days, the lemon will turn more yellow. Keep in mind, however, that this will not actually ripen the lemon on the inside; the lemon may still taste bitter and under-ripe even though it is yellow. It will, however, still work well as a garnish if you want to add some color to a dish or drink. A greenish lemon does not necessarily mean that it is not yet ripe. You can still have a ripe lemon, even if it looks a little green. This is because lemons ripen from the inside out. The flesh ripens first, then the skin. If you find yourself with an under-ripe lemon, try cutting it open anyway and tasting it. You could also follow the steps listed in this method for determining whether or not a lemon is ripe. Instead, consider using it to clean, or as an air fresher. You can make an effective rust and tarnish busting scrub by mixing salt and lemon juice into a paste. Add a few slices of lemon into a pot of simmering water. You can also add a few other fragrant herbs to compliment the lemon, such as rosemary.

SUMMARY:
Know that lemons will never truly ripen once you take them off the tree. Try placing an under-ripe lemon in a bright location in your kitchen. Understand that color is not a good indicator of ripeness. Don't let an under-ripe lemon go to waste.
