Problem: Article: This represents the two axes y and x -- one vertical, one horizontal. The vertical axis is designated the Y-axis and the horizontal as the X-axis. The place where the lines cross is called the origin. The areas below the X-axis and to the left of the Y-axis represent negative numbers. If your data set doesn't include negative numbers, you can omit those portions of the graph. To continue the temperature-time example from the introduction, you would label the x-axis as months during the year, and the y-axis as temperature. To continue the temperature-time example, you'd select a range that was large enough to include the highest and lowest temperatures you plan to graph. If the range isn't very high, you can have a larger scale, spreading it out more so that it fills up the graph instead of just covering 10% of it. You might designate a scale of 10 degrees Fahrenheit (12.22 degrees Celsius) per line to measure temperature along the Y-axis, and a scale of one month per line to measure time along the X-axis. Label several of the lines along each axis with the scale measurements. You don't need to label every line, but you should space the labeled line at regular intervals along the axis.
Summary: Draw a large cross in the middle of your graph paper. Label each axis with the variable it represents. Identify the range of data you have to include for each variable. Decide how many units every line on the graph represents for each of your variables.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The Slow Food Movement focuses on slowing down when it comes to eating and sharing meals with others. Get in the habit of having weekly meals with your family or friends, where you all sit down at the table and enjoy a meal together. Use meals as a place for conversation and connection. Make breakfast a social event, where you sit down with family and spend time together while you drink coffee or have some toast and eggs. Try having lunch with others at work, where you share fresh foods with your co-workers. Prepare a home cooked meal and invite friends, friends of friends, and acquaintances over a dinner party once a month. Have regular potlucks once a week at your home. You can also create a dinner party club, where everyone rotates hosting duties and prepares a Slow Food meal to share with everyone. The Slow Food Movement has a program where they help to design and build a vegetable garden in your community or at your school. Contact the organization online to see if your community or school qualifies for this service. The organization will help you plant and maintain the garden so you can have access to fresh, locally grown food. You can find out more information at http://gardens.slowfoodusa.org. The Slow Food Movement has chapters all over the United States that inform members on how to a part of the movement and supports you as you get more involved. You will need to pay a small, tax-deductible membership fee to join a chapter. Search online for a chapter in your city or town. Your membership fee will also support the Slow Food Movement on a local and national level so the organization can continue to promote and advocate for the slow food lifestyle. You can find out more information on your local Slow Food Movement chapter at https://slowfoodusa.org/network/chapters/.

SUMMARY: Make meals a social event with others. Host regular eating parties or gatherings. Advocate for a Slow Food garden in your community or school. Join a Slow Food group in your area.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you're taking bust measurements, a bra will help lift your breasts, but make sure there's no extra padding to alter the size. If you don't have a non-padded bra, it's fine to take your measurement without a bra. Use a measuring tape to measure just beneath your bust. Keep the measuring tape level and pull it taut, but not tight enough to dig into your skin. If you get a fraction, round the measurement up to the next whole number. Add 4 to the measurement if it's an even number or 5 if it's an odd number. The resulting number is your band size. For instance, if your under bust measurement is 31 inches, your band size will be 36. The fullest part of your breasts is usually around the nipple line. Make sure the tape measure is even and pull it so it is just tight enough to rest against you all the way around. Round the bust measurement up to the nearest whole number. For instance, if your bust measures 33.5 inches, round up to 34. The difference in your bust measurement and your under cup measurement will give you your cup size. Use the original under bust measurement, not your calculated band size. The difference between cup sizes is about an inch. If the difference between measurements is a 1, your cup size is A, if 2, it would be B and so on. In the case of the previous examples, you would subtract 31 from 34 to get 3, which would make your measurement a 36C.
Summary: Put on a non-padded bra if you have one. Measure under your bust and calculate your band size. Measure around your bust at the fullest point. Subtract your under bust measurement from your bust size.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: An overbearing mother-in-law is likely acting out of an impulse to take care of her child. If you approach the subject with her when your partner isn't around, she will automatically feel like you're betraying her child's trust and not acting in their best interests. She also may not trust your decision-making, so facing her one-on-one may be counterproductive and lead to an argument. If your mother-in-law tends to make a lot of demands, calmly explain your reasoning for doing something differently to make it seem like you aren't simply trying to spite her. If you simply ignore her, you'll just make her think that she needs to push harder. By explaining yourself, you'll not only show her that you're willing to stand up for yourself, but you may point something out that she hasn't thought about and make her agree with you. For example, if she claims that you're not being appreciative of your partner, calmly explain, "I express appreciation privately all the time, just not in front of you. I don't want to disrespect you by making a show of it." If your mother-in-law won't stop asking when you're going to have grandchildren, make it about the quality of life for the children to seem like you've thought it through. Say, "We're waiting until we've set up a college fund so that we give them the best future possible." If your mother-in-law tends to insert herself during key decisions or conversations, simply wait until she's not around or move to a different part of your home to talk it out. She can't insert her opinion if she isn't around to make it. "We can talk about it later" is a simple way of deflecting tough conversations in front of your mother-in-law. If your mother-in-law is often critical of you specifically, try showing lots of affection and appreciation for your spouse whenever she's around. She may relax if she feels like the two of you are both working towards the common goal of making her child happy. Simple comments like, "I appreciate you picking the kids up today. You're such a good partner!" are an easy way to score points in front of your mother-in-law. This is a good strategy if your mother-in-law has expressed a concern about your loyalty or dedication. Showing her that you care about her child will put her at ease and make her feel less compelled to insert herself.
Summary:
Avoid trying to solve the problem in a private conversation. Explain why you're not following your mother-in-law's demands. Wait until she's not around to have important conversations about key decisions. Express gratefulness for your spouse in front of your mother-in-law.
