According to the text, it is CORRECT to affirm:

High-risk areas downhill from mining dams in Brazil
     More than 100,000 Brazilians live downhill from mining dams built like the one in Brumadinho that collapsed last month, our estimates found.
   Brazil counts 87 mining dams built using the same method, known as upstream tailings construction, as the one that collapsed. That design is risky if not monitored carefully, and experts have warned that a collapse could happen again in a country where neither the mining industry nor regulators have the situation under control.
     We looked at each of the 87 upstream dams to estimate if it could threaten populated areas, using geospatial analysis to estimate where the mud could flow if each of the dams failed. For at least 27 of those dams, more than 1,000 people live in high-risk areas. That means they are downhill from the dam and within eight kilometers — the distance the mud flowed after the Brumadinho collapse.
     All of those dams were rated by the government at the same risk level, or worse, as the dam that failed in Brumadinho.
     “I wouldn’t buy a home downstream of a tailings dam built in an upstream fashion,” said William F. Marcuson III, a former president of the American Society of Civil Engineers. “And I wouldn’t allow my mother to rent or live in a home downstream of a tailings dam built in an upstream fashion.”               
      Minas Gerais, a state whose name means “general mines”, has been the hub of Brazil’s mining industry for centuries. Today, it still produces 53 percent of the country’s mining output.

PRAY WITH THE POPE, FROM YOUR IPHONE
    "Click to pray" are not words you'd expect to come out of the pope's mouth.
    But that's what onlookers heard during the traditional Sunday address from Pope Francis, as he introduced ClickToPray, an app for communal prayer aimed at young people.
   "The Internet and social media are a resource of our time," the pope said. From a balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square, Francis then gestured to a tablet. Father Frédéric Fornos, international director of the pope's Worldwide Prayer Network, held up the device for the crowd to see.
    "Here," Francis said, "I'll insert the intentions and the prayer requests for the mission of the Church." He tapped the screen several times before glancing up at Fornos.
    "Did I do it?" he asked.
    The pope has made earnest efforts to embrace technology, tweeting frequently and calling the Web "a gift from God." Now he's given his followers a convenient way to turn on their smart devices and see what the leader of the Catholic Church is praying for at any given time.
    "Pray every day," reads the app when it opens. "Pray together with others. Give to the community."
      More than 18,000 people have clicked on the pope's prayer intention for January. The prayer, "Young People and the Example of Mary," focuses on young Catholics, especially in Latin America.         But the app is more democratic than the pope's Sunday address, with a timeline of prayers from other users that you can scroll through, similar to a social media feed. People write prayers for weddings, celebrations, illnesses and more, and others can click to pray with them or leave a comment.
       A prayer in English asks for employment "where I can make a difference," while another in Italian seeks an end to international borders. Prayers in Spanish, French, Portuguese and German have also been posted to the app, ranging from precise requests to generic expressions of love and fraternity.
       In his address, Pope Francis specifically called on young people to download the app. The pope has long sought to make the Church relevant for younger generations, as the proportion of Catholics declines across the world. […]

Whaling Today
By Meghan E. Marrero and Stuart Thornton
Tuesday, November 1, 2011

     In 1946, several countries joined to form the International Whaling Commission (IWC). The IWC’s purpose is to prevent overhunting of whales. Its original regulations, however, were loose, and quotas were high. Whale stocks continued to decline. The IWC eventually established whaling-free sanctuaries in the Indian Ocean (1979) and the ocean surrounding Antarctica (1994).
    The IWC called for a moratorium on commercial whaling in 1982. Both Japan and Norway voted against this policy. Today, Norway supports hunting minke whales for meat. Japan allows whaling for scientific purposes, although many experts question if more whales are taken than are necessary. Meat from whales killed for research is sold as food. 
     Many species of whale have benefitted from the IWC’s moratorium. Dave Weller, a research biologist at NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California, says the eastern Pacific gray whale population has recovered.
     “I think there is pretty good evidence that a moratorium on hunting has allowed certain populations to recover from depleted status when they were being whaled,” he says.
     According to Weller, the IWC’s moratorium on whale hunting is one of two major steps the organization is taking.
     “The other thing that the IWC has very successfully done is to collect information and provide analysis of data to help us understand the status of various populations that in some cases we knew very little about,” he says.
      Despite the general moratorium, limited whaling is permitted to indigenous cultures.
     “In the United States, the Inuit Eskimos in the north slope of Alaska, in Barrow, Alaska, still hunt for bowhead whales,” Weller says. “There is a request by the Makah Indian tribe, which is in northern Washington state, to resume gray whale hunting, which they had traditionally done. But that’s pending deliberations right now.”

A
Both countries, Japan and Norway, allows whaling for scientific purposes only, and experts do not express doubts about the facts.
B
The IWC's moratorium has been beneficial to many species of whale, including the gray whale population.
C
Dave Weller said that he believes that a moratorium on hunting could be more strict to certain populations of whales.
D
According to Weller, besides the moratorium on whale hunting, IWC is not doing much so far.
E
Even natives to specific geographical areas are not allowed to whaling, according to the general moratorium.

Is age the cause of receding gums?
By Claudia Hammond.

The phrase “long in the tooth” comes from the practice of gauging a horse’s age by the length of its teeth. Nineteenth century horse-traders were not a particularly trustworthy bunch, so a wise buyer would often check inside the animal’s mouth. If the teeth looked long it meant its gums had already receded, suggesting the potential purchase might be older than claimed. This might have served people well when it came to buying horses, but what about humans?
Gingival recession, as it’s formally known, is more common amongst the elderly. A US study of almost 10,000 people found that 38% of people aged 30-39 had some degree of the condition, compared with 71% in the 50-59 age group, and 90% for those aged between 80-90. However that doesn’t mean ageing in itself is the cause. It’s a long process that can start in your teens, and one that can be triggered by various factors.
In some cases, there is nothing people can do to reduce their chances of developing the condition. Some people inherit thin and fragile gums which recede more easily. Others have teeth which are overcrowded or stick out, meaning that there’s not enough jawbone to cover the root of the tooth.
Dental hygiene also plays a big role. Plaque, consisting of a sticky film of bacteria, is constantly forming on our teeth. Failure to clear the build ups through brushing and flossing can lead to gum disease. If left untreated, one possible complication is the destruction of the bone around the teeth and the gum tissue in which they sit. As the tissue recedes, the root of the tooth is exposed, making it appear longer.
Then there’s the way you brush your teeth. If you use a sawing action with a hard brush, there’s a danger of gradually wearing away the gum. For this reason dentists tend to advise brushing in small circles with a soft brush or using an electric toothbrush to prevent you from pressing so hard. The damage accumulates over time, causing the gums to recede imperceptibly, until one day you look in the mirror and realise you’ve changed. As this transformation can take decades, many people assume it’s a natural part of the ageing process.
Research on receding gums often relies on asking people what kind of toothbrush they use, the brushing motions they use and how hard they brush. Some argue that due to a lack of controlled studies, there’s no definitive evidence that hard brushing does anything more than cause temporary abrasions, but many dentists do consider there to be a link. The condition is also more common in smokers.
With so many different factors involved, controlled studies are difficult to do. Many are cross-sectional, meaning they take a snapshot in time.
So if you’re looking to buy a horse it might be worth their checking their teeth, but ageing is not a direct cause of receding gums. It’s simply that the damage accumulates and becomes more obvious over time.

I. Nineteenth century horse-traders were reliable people.
II. A buyer who would check the horse's gums before buying it, was not considered a clever person.
III. Although it is more observed amongst the elderly, gingival recession can begin during youth.

According to the text, why Pope Francis does not feel comfortable to judge gay people?

 Read the text below to answer question.

Pope Francis: Who am I to judge gay people?
By David Willey BBC News, Rome

     Pope Francis, the first ever pontiff from Latin America, has struck an unusual new tone. Now he is back at his desk in his modest Vatican quarters, he has some important decisions to make about the future governance of his Church. Normally the cardinals who run the Holy See are off on their long summer holidays at this time of year. But Pope Francis' seasons are not the same as those of his predecessors. In the Southern Hemisphere, where the bulk of his international flock now lives, it is winter. 
      Pope Francis plans to spend the month of August preparing for some radical changes in the future governance of his worldwide Church. Be prepared for some big surprises. His remarks on gay people are being seen as much less judgemental than his predecessor's position on the issue. Pope Benedict XVI signed a document in 2005 that said men with deep-rooted homosexual tendencies should not be priests. But Pope Francis said gay clergymen should be forgiven and their sins forgotten.
     "The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this very well," Pope Francis said in a wide-ranging 80-minute long interview with Vatican journalists."It says they should not be marginalised because of this but that they must be integrated into society."But he condemned what he described as lobbying by gay people. "The problem is not having this orientation," he said. "We must be brothers. The problem is lobbying by this orientation, or lobbies of greedy people, political lobbies, Masonic lobbies, so many lobbies. This is the worse problem."
