Problem: Article: If it’s just some guy or girl you’ve been talking to at the bar, health club, motor vehicle bureau line, etc., it may be tempting to just make up an excuse to avoid going on a date.  After all, you’re not likely to see the person again anytime soon.  Then again, if you aren’t going to see him or her again, why not just be honest?  A little temporary awkwardness will probably leave both of you feeling better in the end. Something as simple as "It was nice talking to you, but I'd like to just leave it at that.  Thanks," might do the trick. You won’t have the time for lots of preparation beforehand, as in readying to break-up with a new boyfriend/girlfriend, so don’t try to come up with a long explanation.  Just be clear, concise, and honest about why you don’t want to pursue a relationship with this person. Stick to the “I” statements again.  Focus on why you aren’t suited for a person like him/her.  Maybe "I'm sorry, I don't share your passion for [extreme sports/world travel/online poker], so I know we wouldn't end up a good fit." Act like an adult. While the fake phone number might avoid the face-to-face awkwardness, you’re still going to hurt the other person eventually, and probably more than an honest turn-away would.  If kindness is truly important to you, it should be important even when you’re out of sight. If you really have to use the fake boyfriend/girlfriend routine, at least don’t start with it.  Try an honest, direct, kind denial of interest first.  It will usually do the trick. You’ll be inclined to want to keep things light, but if you go too far -- making a silly voice or face, quoting lines from a movie, etc. -- the other person will probably just think you are insulting him or her.  Don’t seem like a jerk when you’re trying to be a nice guy/gal. Be careful with sarcasm.  It may be obvious sarcasm to you to say "Oh, as if someone like me would ever go out with someone like you" with a fake, highfalutin voice and appropriate smirk at the end, and maybe the other person would usually get the joke as well, but he/she may not pick up on it while reacting to being rejected.
Summary: Be honest, direct, and kind. Get to the point. Skip the fake phone number and the made-up boyfriend/girlfriend. Don’t make a joke out of it.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: These clouds are usually under 6,500 feet (1,981 meters), and they help to cool the Earth through reflecting back the Sun's heat away from the Earth's surface. They're usually a grayish-blue color and they are often rain clouds because they are filled with water droplets. Early morning low clouds might dry out before they have a chance to rain if the sun is able to evaporate them, which will result in a clear day, but expect rain if this is not the case. In fact, low clouds are the most likely source of rain or snow because their precipitation doesn't have a chance to evaporate before reaching the ground. Rain or snow is fairly guaranteed if you see a lot of low clouds with dark bases. Low clouds of 3,000 feet (914 meters) thickness tend to mean precipitation; since you probably can't guess that height accurately from your observation point, look for the darkness. Nimbostratus clouds are dark, low level clouds, followed by light to moderate rainfall, and often continuous in nature. This cloud type frequently forms what looks like a sheet of cloud. Low lying clouds are generally made of water droplets, and can bring snow as well as rain. They're distinguishable from the aforementioned clouds because of their dark, big, and gloomy looking appearance. This cloud is easily distinguished from other clouds by its massive nature. Cumulonimbus clouds can fill up much of the sky with their massive and puffy pile, making it easy to tell them apart from cirrus or altocumulus clouds. Cumulonimbus clouds are mostly affiliated with thunderstorms, lightning, heavy rainfall, blizzard or hail. They can turn into super cells or tornadoes.  This cloud type can look like a big explosion or some see a resemblance to an anvil; the anvil tip points the direction that the weather is moving in. In the event of extreme atmospheric instability, you might see what is known as a towering cumulus cloud. This cloud can have its base as low as a low cloud (6,500 feet) and reach as high as a high cloud. It's a warning sign because it can indicate gusting high winds, lightning, heavy rainfall and hail. In some areas, this cloud can also indicate an oncoming tornado. This cloud brings with it a nasty weather system, but usually it is short lived. The weather following this cloud is often clear.

SUMMARY: Check out the low clouds. Look for nimbostratus clouds. Check the skies for the cumulonimbus cloud.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Although germs can live on most any surface, they are more likely to collect in certain places than others. In most schools the restrooms are cleaned at least once per day, but there are some areas that are frequently overlooked. It is estimated that 80% of all infections are caused by coming into contact with a contaminated surface.  Toilet seats aren't actually as bad as we think they are, and they are usually cleaned on a regular basis.  Door handles collect a lot of germs. The inside latch of a toilet stall has been touched by many students after using the toilet and wiping themselves. Many students also skip washing their hands, and then transfer their germs to the exit door as they leave. You can use a paper towel to open a door so that your hands don't get dirty. If you are a boy, there is no need to be shy about peeing in a urinal next to other boys.  This is a perfectly normal thing to do, avoids unnecessary contact with germs inside the toilet stalls, and helps to keep the stalls cleaner for everyone else. Cafeteria trays aren't always cleaned between meals. Dishes are always washed after use, but the trays are sometimes overlooked.  If you carry hand sanitizer, use it to wipe your tray before you get in line. Don't allow your tray to come into contact with any shared surfaces after it's been cleaned. The average desk is used by five or six students in a single day. If any of those kids were sick, they probably left some germs behind.  Keyboards and mice are also likely to collect germs. Hand sanitizing wipes are the quickest way to clean shared surfaces. Some students put their mouths directly on the faucet, passing along their colds and flu to the next person in line. Try to avoid contact with the spout, and run the water for a few seconds before drinking.  There may be as many as 2.7 million bacteria per square inch living on a public drinking fountain spigot.  If you want to be even safer, carry your own water bottle instead.  Many schools now have stations where you can refill your water bottle without pressing a button. Art supplies are often shared, and seldom cleaned. Multiple students may be using the same art supplies in different class periods. Apart from rinsing paint out of brushes, cleaning art supplies is not usually a big priority for students or teachers. Although proper etiquette dictates wiping off exercise equipment after using it, not everyone does this. Shared equipment like balls, bats, and helmets can also be a hotbed for germs. Outdoor facilities like park benches and playground equipment are usually not cleaned on a regular basis. Since these items are shared by a great number of students over the course of a day, they tend to collect a lot of germs.  Playground equipment has been shown to harbor trace amounts of fecal matter along with viruses and bacteria.  Run the water for a few seconds before drinking from the water fountain. Even better, carry your own water bottle instead.
Summary:
Be careful in the bathroom. Sanitize cafeteria trays before using them. Give your desk a quick wipe before sitting down. Use care when using a drinking fountain. Clean more than your brushes. Avoid using shared sports equipment that hasn't been washed. Try not to touch playground equipment or picnic tables with your bare hands.
