INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Write down all the things you have to do after school, or make a list of your plans for the weekend. Your teacher won't even notice they'll think you're taking notes! A shopping list is another great option. If you want something more fun, try listing all of your favorite bands, songs, shows, or books. Open the book in your lap or hide it under a piece of paper on your desk so your teacher doesn't see. You might be able to get through a whole chapter by the time class is over. If you're worried about your teacher noticing, make a book cover for your book so your teacher can't tell what you're reading. Even though you might not feel like doing homework, getting it out of the way now means you won't have to do it later. Also, if you forgot to do your homework for a class you have after this one, you can do it now so it's not late. If you're having trouble focusing because of the background noise in class, try putting in headphones or earplugs. Just make sure they're not visible and that you can still hear what your teacher is saying in case you get called on. If wearing headphones or earplugs isn't an option, work on the easiest parts of your homework that don't require a lot of concentration. Turn the volume all the way down and hide your phone in your lap or behind a notebook. Play games that don't require a lot of attention so you're not staring at your phone screen the whole time. Use a stylus that looks like a pen to play the games on your phone so it looks like you're taking notes. If you are in a class where you are allowed to use laptops, you can play games on that instead. A simple card game will be more discreet than a fancy mmorpg. You never know what might be going on outside maybe there's a bird building a nest or a storm rolling through. Try to find something interesting to focus on and before you know it, class will be over! If you aren't near a window, you could try looking out the classroom door. See if you can find something interesting going on in the class across the hall. Alternatively, you can always study your fellow classmates. Look only at the people in front of you; the teacher will notice if you turn around to look at the people behind you.

SUMMARY: Make a to-do list. Read a book. Do your homework for a different class. Play games on your phone. Look out the window to see if anything interesting is going on.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dietary treatment for colds should first start with determining whether the cold is caused by wind heat or wind cold. To determine the source of your cold, eat ginger. If you experience excessive thirst, dry mouth, sore throat, and sweating after eating, then your cold is caused by wind heat. To alleviate this type of cold, eat foods that have cooling properties such as cucumber and watermelon. In case you are experiencing cold intolerance, the only way to counter that is by eating warm foods like garlic and curry. Do not overeat. Chinese traditional medicine maintains that proper diet can restore balance to the body and boost your immune system. Your emotions play a key role in your overall health. Traditional Chinese medicine indicates that there are seven types of emotions that must be monitored and reduced, because they are factors that can aggravate an illness. These emotions include: anxiety, anger, fear, fright, overjoy, overthinking, and sadness. Do a self-check every time you feel a surge of these emotions, because they can harm several organs in the body. You can regulate your emotions by thinking positive, being optimistic, meditating, and listening to calming and soothing music. The type of exercise beneficial to reducing colds is mostly centered on doing slow, rhythmic exercises that require you to be mindful of your breathing. Exercise should focus on incorporating all the parts of the body. A good exercise found in Chinese culture for this type of workout is tai-chi.
Summary: Use diet to help treat colds. Avoid negative emotions to heal. Exercise to increase health.

Q: The color and the consistency of engine oil is indicative of its age, and possibly of other engine efficiency issues that you might need to address. As soon as you remove the dipstick, you can get a good sense of the quality of the oil in your engine. Engine oil that's in good condition should look slightly yellow-greenish on the rag, and shouldn't be super-dark. Wipe the oil off the end of the dipstick and examine it on the rag. Oil will change in color from golden or amber colored to brown and black as more and more particulate gets in the oil from the engine. Metal filings and particulate will slowly scrape the cylinders of your engine over time, which is why the oil needs to be changed according to the manufacturer's recommended service interval (check your owner's manual or service booklet to find your vehicle's service interval). Look at the color, specifically. Does it look brackish, or chunky? Does it look black or dark? If so, it's likely a sign that your oil needs changed. Take the car in to have it serviced, or change the oil yourself.
A: Examine the color and quality of the oil.
