Agriculture and fisheries are closely linked to climate,
making them vulnerable to changes in temperature, CO2 levels,
and extreme weather. While increased temperature and CO2 can
enhance some crop yields, this depends on factors like nutrient
levels, soil moisture, and water availability. More frequent
droughts and floods could challenge food production and safety,
while warming waters may shift fish habitats, disrupting
ecosystems. Overall, climate change may complicate traditional
methods of farming, livestock raising, and fishing.
Crop responses to temperature changes depend on each
crop's optimal growth temperature. Warmer conditions might
benefit certain crops or enable the cultivation of new ones, but
yields decline if temperatures exceed a crop's threshold.
Increased CO2 can enhance plant growth under controlled
conditions but may be offset by water, nutrient, and temperature
constraints. Additionally, elevated CO2 reduces the protein and
nitrogen content in crops like soybeans and alfalfa, lowering their
quality and diminishing the forage value for livestock.
Extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, can
harm crops and reduce yields. For example, high nighttime
temperatures in 2010 and 2012 lowered U.S. corn yields, while
premature budding caused $ 220 million in losses for Michigan
cherries in 2012. Rising summer temperatures may also dry soils,
complicating drought management. Increased irrigation could
help, but reduced water availability might limit its feasibility.
Climate change also favors weeds, pests, and fungi, which
thrive in warmer, wetter conditions with higher CO2 levels. This
could expose crops to new threats and increase farming costs.
U.S. farmers already spend over $ 11 billion annually on weed
control, and these challenges are likely to grow as weed and pest
ranges expand.
While rising CO2 stimulates plant growth, it also lowers
the nutritional value of major crops like wheat, rice, and
soybeans by reducing their protein and mineral content. This
poses a potential risk to human health. Additionally, increased
pest pressure may lead to higher pesticide use, further impacting
health and reducing pesticide effectiveness. Climate change,
therefore, presents multifaceted challenges to food production,
nutrition, and ecosystems.

TEXT 4
According to the Brazilian National Education Guidelines and Framework Law enacted in 2017, English language teaching is mandatory from the sixth year of elementary school until the last years of high school. However, the curriculum does not guarantee that all Brazilian students will receive English teaching. In 2013, Data Popular, a Brazilian research institute, drafted a report for the British Council analyzing the problems concerning knowledge of English in Brazil. The report claims that the low level of English proficiency amongst Brazilians reflects the educational opportunities available in the country […].
To understand the reasons why English teaching does not seem efficient for all students, it is important to highlight the English language teaching provision in Brazil. Formal English teaching in Brazil takes place in four different contexts: English schools, bilingual schools, regular private schools, and public schools. In general, people who wish to learn English believe that effective learning occurs only in private English schools or bilingual schools because the structure (the teaching methods and the quality of support materials) is more likely to provide successful learning. The focus in those institutions is on oral expression. Learners have more exposure to the target language because classes are taught entirely in English, and teachers are usually well trained to comply with that requirement. In addition, groups are smaller, so students can receive personal support and enjoy a comfortable learning environment, not to mention access to multimedia resources.

Answers the question according to the text below.
Organ Donation and Transplant
At this moment, more than 113,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ.
One more person is added to the national waiting list every 12 minutes.
Each of these people is in desperate need of a kidney, liver, heart, or other organ.
More than 6,500 people a year -- about 20 a day -- die before that organ ever
becomes available.
Organ donors are always in short supply. There are far more people in need of a
transplant than there are people willing to donate an organ.
Most of the organs that are available come from deceased donors. When you fill
out an organ donor card with your driver's license, you're agreeing to donate all or
some of your organs if you die.
A smaller number of organs come from healthy people. More than 6,000
transplants from living donors are performed each year.
You might have wondered about donating an organ -- either to a friend or relative
who needs an organ right now, or by filling out an organ donor card.
Just about anyone, at any age, can become an organ donor. Anyone younger than
age18 needs to have the consent of a parent or guardian.
For organ donation after death, a medical assessment will be done to determine what
organs can be donated. Certain conditions, such as having HIV, actively
spreading cancer, or severe infection would exclude organ donation.
Having a serious condition like cancer, HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, or heart
disease can prevent you from donating as a living donor.
“Anyone YOUNGER THAN age 18 needs to have the consent of a parent or guardian. (lines 15-16). The

Should schools just say no to pupils using phones?
14th July 2024
Natalie Grice – BBC News
“I wouldn’t say it’s a good thing for a child never to have a smartphone. I think it’s part of a balanced life. You’ve got to live in your own time.”
These are not the words you might expect to hear from a teacher at a school that has never in its history allowed pupils under sixth form age to use a mobile phone on the premises.
But Sarah Owen, deputy head at Stanwell School in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, was simply expressing a personal opinion, rather than the school’s view about a young person’s wider life.
It is clear that she and the school have very firm opinions on what is best for children while they are on school grounds.
For Stanwell pupils in years 7 to 11, that has always meant no phones. Not in lessons, not in the corridor, not at breaktimes.
It is such a long-established rule that it presumably comes as no surprise to pupils and parents when they join the school, which is starting to seem as if it may have been ahead of a growing curve.
In the past few years, a number of schools across Wales and further afield have introduced total bans on mobiles. While Stanwell only asks pupils to keep phones switched off in their bags, others require the devices to be handed in at the start of the day.
Llanidloes High School in Powys is one which has implemented this policy in the past few years and Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi in St Davids, Pembrokeshire, followed suit at the start of this year.
Sarah Owen has been at Stanwell School since 2000 and says that there has always been a no phone policy in the school. For Sarah, it is a question not of trying to impinge on their students’ freedom, but of giving them vital time away from mobile life, for welfare as well as educational reasons.
“We genuinely believe this is in their best interests,” she said. “Phone addiction and screen addiction and scrolling, the loss of concentration, the loss of soft skills around listening and interacting with others, that’s something we need to be concerned about as a society generally.”
“We want children to be interacting with each other, having conversations, playing football, having those connections and interactions with other people.”
Sarah also believes it gives pupils relief from the possibility of being “photographed, filmed, mocked in some way – that’s not a nice way for children to live”. She said she wanted her pupils to have “some sanctuary from the anxiety of feeling so scrutinised and looked at”.

ASTEROID WARNING Elon Musk's web of satellites
make it harder to detect dangerous near-Earth
asteroids, scientists warn
Elon Musk's web of satellites makes it harder to detect
dangerous near-Earth asteroids, scientists have warned.
The number of satellites orbiting Earth has soared from
just a few hundred in 1986 to 10,000 today.
Another tenfold increase is expected over the coming
decade - much of it driven by Musk's Starlink network.
Starlink is a fleet of satellites which brings internet to
people with little or no signal - including troops in Ukraine.
But more than 100 astronomers have now warned
against launching more "megaconstellations" of satellites.
The boffins said clogging up the Earth's orbit with
satellites could block their telescopes' view of outer
space.
Professor Robert McMillan told Space: "Artificial
satellites, even those invisible to the naked eye, can
obstruct astronomical observations.
"These observations help detect asteroids and
understand our place in the universe.
"The potentially long-term environmental harms of
deploying tens of thousands of satellites are still unclear."
Light streaks from Starlink have dazzled a California
telescope which scans the sky for exploding stars and
dangerous near-Earth asteroids.
A study found that Musk's satellites could stop the Zwicky
Transient Facility picking up asteroids coming from the
sun.
Around one in five snaps from the huge telescope have
been affected, Scientific American reports.
Expert Przemek Mróz said: "We don't expect Starlink
satellites to affect non-twilight images.
"But if the satellite constellation of other companies goes
into higher orbits, this could cause problems for
non-twilight observations."
Co-author Tom Prince said: "There is a small chance that
we would miss an asteroid or another event hidden
behind a satellite streak."
