Problem: Article: You could divide household duties up on a permanent basis, or choose to rotate cleanup tasks.  Keeping the house clean with or without a full family takes a lot of energy and can help develop planning and organizational skills.  If your family chooses to permanently assign cleanup chores, you might do the dishes each night, someone else might do the laundry, and someone else may do the vacuuming. If you choose to assign cleanup tasks on a rotating basis, you could use a calendar to track who is responsible for what and when.  You might write “Bobby, dishes / Sandra, laundry / Mike, vacuuming” on Sunday of one week.  The next Sunday, you might write “Sandra, dishes / Mike, laundry / Bobby, vacuuming.” Everything should have a proper place assigned to it.  After you’ve used something, place it back where it belongs.  For instance, put the salt and pepper on the table where they belong, and put dirty dishes in the sink when finished eating.  Encourage the rest of your household to do likewise. Study or work in a space which is quiet, clean, and well-lit.  It might be helpful to have a desk or table on which to work.  Stock the drawers with small containers containing useful materials like pencils, erasers, and paperclips. Try to keep your study space free of distractions like TV and video games.  This might make it easier to stay organized and focused on your work. Set aside time to study for tests and do your homework.  Ideally, you should study at the same time each day.  Think about your schedule and choose a time when you will feel fresh and motivated to get some work done.  The best time to study is usually not immediately after school.  Try to wait until shortly after dinner so you have some time to relax, shower, or talk to your friends. For instance, if you get home at 3:00 each day and like to have a snack and chat with your parents, set aside time from 6:00 to 8:00 or so to work.  Extend the study period if you need to. Getting enough sleep is always a challenge.  Having a regular bedtime and wake-up time makes it easier.  Set an alarm clock so that you wake at the same time each morning.  If necessary, set an alarm clock to indicate when to go to bed as well.  With a regular bedtime, it may be easier to wake up fully rested and avoid scrambling for your breakfast, books, assignments, backpack, or suitcase. Adults need to get at least seven hours of sleep each night.  Aim to get at least that many hours of sleep.  For instance, if you want to be up by 8:00 each morning, be in bed by midnight to allow yourself time to fall asleep.
Summary: Clean up regularly. Put things away when you’re done with them. Choose a designated study or work space. Select a specific time to study time. Establish a regular bedtime.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Since bacterial conjunctivitis is highly infectious, ensure that you wash your hands often while you have the condition, especially before and after touching your eyes. Try to be mindful of touching your eyes and avoid doing it as much as possible. Eye makeup, sunglasses, towels, and any other object that comes into contact with your eyes can carry the bacteria. Avoid sharing these items with anyone, and wash items such as towels often. When wiping drainage from your eye, always use a clean tissue to avoid spreading the infection back into your eye. If you use a tissue to wipe your eye, be sure to properly dispose of it in the trashcan. Do not go to school or work until your symptoms have cleared up. Antibiotics for bacterial conjunctivitis can also reduce the risk of spreading the infection. Consult with your doctor when he or she writes the prescription how long you should wait before going back to school or work. Kids with pink eye are going to be much less vigilant about washing their hands and not touching their eyes. If you’re caring for a child with conjunctivitis, take these steps more seriously yourself to compensate to avoid spreading the infection to yourself.

SUMMARY: Practice good hygiene. Avoid sharing items. Use clean tissues and towels. Take sick time. Be especially careful around children.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In order to make sure you are making an apples-to-apples comparison, you must examine sales in a specific time period. You can examine the sales over the length of a quarter, a year, or over several years. All publicly-traded companies must release quarterly or annual financial statements. These statements will include a record of all of the firm's sales, and may also include an itemized explanation of sales of specific product or service types within the footnotes of the financial statements.. If the company you are examining sells a wide variety of products and services, it may not be useful to simply examine all of the revenue streams of the firm together. Look for information regarding its sales of a particular type of product or services. This is the total amount of sales (or revenue) the entire market is acquiring.  The total market sales amount may be found through industry trade associations or publicly-available research reports. For a fee, companies such as NPD Group provide specific information about sales in a variety of national and international market sectors. Alternatively, you can add up the sales of the largest companies in a given product or service market. If a handful of firms dominate the industry with smaller firms making insignificant sales--such as major home appliances or automobiles--total the sales for all of the companies in the industry to calculate total industry sales. The result of this division equals your company's specific market share. So, if a firm made $1 million dollars selling a particular product and all firms in the industry sold $15 million worth of it, you would divide $1 million by $15 million ($1,000,000 / $15,000,000) to determine the market share of the firm. Some prefer market share to be represented by a percentage, while others do not even simplify it into the smallest possible fraction (leaving it as $40 million/$115 million, for example). The form you prefer is irrelevant, as long as you understand what figure represents.
Summary: Determine the period you want to examine for each company you are investigating. Calculate the company's total revenue (also called total sales). Find the total market sales. Divide the target company's total revenue by the entire industry's total market sales.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hits (also called base hits) are simply the sum of singles, doubles, triples, and home runs. This statistic is easy to find online for professional players. You can use the statistics for a season, a whole career, or any other period of time you're interested in. Just make sure all your statistics come from the same time frame. This is the number of times the player has made an attempt at an hit. This does not include walks, hits by pitch, or sacrifices, since these do not reflect the batter's offensive skill. The answer tells you the battering average, or the fraction of the time that a batter turned an at-bat attempt into a successful hit.  For example, if a player had 70 Hits and 200 At-Bats, his Batting Average is 70 ÷ 200 = 0.350. You can read a batting average of 0.350 as "this player would expect to get 350 hits in 1000 at-bats." Batting averages are almost always rounded this way. When a baseball fan mentions a batting average of "three hundred," she means 0.300. You can calculate batting averages to four or more decimal places, but this doesn't have much use beyond breaking ties.
Summary:
Find the player's hits. Find the player's at-bats. Divide the number of hits by the number of at-bats. Round to the third decimal place.
