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.

When you’re in a long line waiting for your turn with a bunch of other cranky people, a good wallet is essential. For everyone’s benefit, you want to be able to find the right card or bills, make your transaction, and get out of there as quickly as possible. Mobile payments, vendor apps, and the decline of cash have lessened the amount of space you need for library cards and twenties, and they’ve lessened the need for bulky, old-school leather cash carriers. There’s never been a better time to trim down your wallet and your carbon footprint in turn by choosing a wallet made from recycled or eco-friendly materials.

TEXT I
The time to embrace change in education is right now! In fact, it’s long overdue.
Did you know that the model for modern-day public education was created by the
need for on-time mechanical workers during the industrial revolution? That was
certainly a technological disruption, but it happened 250 years ago. It’s what we
call the front-lead method, and it’s not the best model for addressing the learning
needs of many students: divergent thinkers, neurodiverse minds, creatives,
scientists, and the list goes on. Which brings us to our next point: it’s time for the
next wave of disruption. Luckily for us, it’s here. And it’s been here since 1989,
when Tim Berners-Lee — a British scientist from CERT — invented the World
Wide Web. We know, you use the internet every day, and it’s great, but maybe
you’re skeptical that it can revolutionize education. Well, if you didn’t know, it
already is. A large body of evidence-based, peer reviewed work points to the web
as one of the central hubs for positive educational change today. It’s our
connection to others, our access to a world of educational resources, it’s a format
that works for many learners, it’s at the heart of countless services (that don’t work
in an unconnected world), and it’s driving access to education.

Even the deepest, coldest parts of the ocean are getting warmer
Thermometers moored at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean recorded an average
temperature increase of about 0.02 degrees Celsius over the last decade. That warming may be a
consequence of human-driven climate change, which has boosted ocean temperatures near the
surface, but it’s unclear since so little is known about the deepest, darkest parts of the ocean.
“The deep ocean, below about 2,000 meters, is not very well observed,” says Chris Meinen,
an oceanographer at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The deep sea is
so hard to reach that the temperature at any given research site is typically taken only once per
decade. But Meinen’s team measured temperatures hourly from 2009 to 2019 using seafloor
sensors at four spots in the Argentine Basin, off the coast of Uruguay.
Temperature records for the two deepest spots revealed a clear trend of warming over that
decade. This warming is much weaker than in the upper ocean, Meinen says, but he also notes
that since warm water rises, it would take a lot of heat to generate even this little bit of warming so
deep.
It’s too soon to judge whether human activity or natural variation is the cause, Meinen says.
Continuing to monitor these sites and comparing the records with data from devices in other ocean
basins may help to clarify matters.

Even the deepest, coldest parts of the ocean are getting warmer
Thermometers moored at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean recorded an average
temperature increase of about 0.02 degrees Celsius over the last decade. That warming may be a
consequence of human-driven climate change, which has boosted ocean temperatures near the
surface, but it’s unclear since so little is known about the deepest, darkest parts of the ocean.
“The deep ocean, below about 2,000 meters, is not very well observed,” says Chris Meinen,
an oceanographer at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The deep sea is
so hard to reach that the temperature at any given research site is typically taken only once per
decade. But Meinen’s team measured temperatures hourly from 2009 to 2019 using seafloor
sensors at four spots in the Argentine Basin, off the coast of Uruguay.
Temperature records for the two deepest spots revealed a clear trend of warming over that
decade. This warming is much weaker than in the upper ocean, Meinen says, but he also notes
that since warm water rises, it would take a lot of heat to generate even this little bit of warming so
deep.
It’s too soon to judge whether human activity or natural variation is the cause, Meinen says.
Continuing to monitor these sites and comparing the records with data from devices in other ocean
basins may help to clarify matters.
