INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One of the most common symptoms of lung cancer is a cough that does not go away. See a doctor if your cough lasts more than 2 weeks, if it increases in intensity over time, or if you cough up blood (this is called hemoptysis) or a lot of phlegm. Ironically, smokers, who have the highest risk of lung cancer, tend to cough a lot and, consequently, do not seek treatment for this most common symptom. If you smoke, be aware of any changes in your cough, and meet with your doctor regularly. Consider getting checked for lung cancer every couple of months. You'll also want to note any changes in the character of the cough. You should be worried if, for example, a dry cough suddenly starts producing a lot of sputum. Likewise, you should be worried if the color of your sputum changes. In particular, keep an eye out for chocolatey brown, black, or greenish sputum. Shortness of breath (dyspnea) is a common symptom of lung cancer, but it is often attributed to obesity, old age, heart disease, or weather changes. See a physician if you are having trouble breathing, especially if your shortness of breath occurs outside of any strenuous activity. In some cases, a lung cancer patient will feel back pain that worsens the deeper that they breathe in. Dull and persistent aching in your chest, ribcage, shoulders, or arms could be an early symptom of lung cancer. This discomfort might progress to include tingling, numbness, and even paralysis. If you have multiple episodes of bronchitis or pneumonia, talk to your doctor about the possibility of cancer. Tumors can obstruct your airways and make you prone to these kinds of infections. Lung cancer, like other cancers, can cause a loss of appetite. If you notice your appetite has diminished, make an appointment with your doctor. Cancer cells use an inordinate amount of your body's energy and can affect your metabolism, leading to weight loss. This is sometimes exacerbated by the loss of appetite some patients experience. If you lose 10 pounds (4.5kg) suddenly or without dieting, consult a doctor. All cancers can produce fatigue, but the symptom is so vague that it does not always prompt people to seek treatment. If you have risk factors for lung cancer, such as smoking or a history of exposure to irritants like coal or asbestos, or if your fatigue is pronounced, see your doctor immediately.

SUMMARY: See a doctor if you have a persistent cough. Watch for any problems with your breathing. Do not dismiss aches and pains. Investigate recurrent airway infections. Look for a loss of appetite. Pay attention to your weight. Be aware of fatigue.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you're out with other people, pay attention to where he focuses his own attention. Stay quiet for a while and see how long it takes him to draw you back into the conversation, or if he forgets about you entirely. If you're at a large party and separate to talk to different people, check how frequently he comes back to touch base with you, if only for a moment. Be sure to do this on a case-by-case basis. The situation will probably be at least a little bit different each time. If he hasn't seen a certain friend in a very long time, for instance, he may understandably focus more on them. Look for consistent behavior over time instead of singling out just one occasion. Watch his reaction to the idea. If he seems reluctant to introduce you, ask him why. If he can't give you a good reason, or if he says "sure" all the time but keeps putting it off, question why a guy who supposedly cares about you wouldn't want other people in his life to meet you. Remember: he may have a valid reason for being reluctant. He may be more worried about what you think of his friends than the other way around. Or his family life may not be the best situation. Encourage him to talk freely about his concerns. The more he confides, the more he cares. Observe how he behaves with your favorite animal in the whole world. See if they get along right off the bat, and if not, what sort of effort he makes to befriend it. You and he both know that your pet is going to be with you for a while, so use your pet to see what lengths the guy will go to in order to be part of your life, too.

SUMMARY: Note how much he includes you. Talk about meeting his family and/or friends. Watch him with your pet.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Mentally note: The person's gender Their age Whether they live at alone or with family Whether they're in school or have graduated Think about things that they like or talk about, whether it's music, movies, art or sports. Think about any skills, talents or hobbies they may have. Try to remember anything they've mentioned wanting in the past weeks, or anything they've had their eye on. Dig deeper. If you know that they like painting, try to find out if they have a preference: acrylic, gouache, oil, or watercolor. They may have posted things that they've got their eye on or gadgets that they think are cool. Social media profiles can also give a better picture of their interests. Take a look at their social media posts. If they post a lot of Harry Potter or Star Wars memes, then it's safe to say that they like Harry Potter or Star Wars. They may have a wishlist on a shopping site, which will make gifting easier. You can comb through their registry and find something they've already selected for themselves. If they do shop online, ask if you can look over their shoulder and see what they're shopping for. If you really want to surprise them, you could have the gift sent directly to their house. It would be even better if there is a gift wrapping option! If they're considering buying an item but decide against it, make a mental note of it as a potential present. Take note of why they decide to go against the item. Is it because it is too expensive? Or just not in their taste? If your friend decided against an item that was too expensive, then they might appreciate getting it for their birthday. If your friend decided against something that wasn't in their taste after all, then there is no point in getting it for them--they chose not to buy it because they didn't want it. You may overhear them talking about items they'd like to have while they're around friends or coworkers. Take note of the things they post on social media too. For example, if your friend posts an image of a specific makeup kit, and mentions how she wished she had it, consider getting it for her! They may have some ideas, and be willing to help. Ask if they've ever given the person a gift in the past, how they reacted to it. This may give you a good idea of what to give them (and what hasn't gone over well). This is an especially good idea if the gift is very expensive or a gag gift. If you aren't sure how your friend will react to it, definitely ask mutual friends. They probably know them very well, and can give some advice. They'll have more intuition about things that the person has been wanting lately.

SUMMARY:
Take note of simple information about the person. Remember the person's preferences. Check out their social media profiles. Find out if the person does any online shopping. Go to the mall with them and see what they look at. Listen to see if they mention anything they want. Ask for help amongst your mutual friends. Ask the person's parent, sibling or other relative.
