B through text messages instantly. F based on lectures.
D The durian is one of those fruits that people either love or hate. Popular
in Southeast Asia, durian is described as sweet-tasting with an intensely
pungent smell. Inside the thorny exterior is a soft creamy fruit that some may
describe as ‘rotten mushy onions’. For those who love the ‘king of fruits’, it is
an excellent source of vitamins C and B6, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, and
niacin.
E The coconut is a fruit, not a nut, and its name comes from the Spanish
word which means head for the fruit resembles a human head. Coconuts are
used in everything from cooking to frying to soaps and cosmetics. In some
countries, the coconut has cultural and religious importance, particularly in
India, where it is used in Hindu rites. Young coconuts are picked for their
drinkable coconut water, which is a good source of vitamin C, riboflavin, and
calcium but is high in sodium.
F The noni fruit which is originated in Australia, Asia and the Polynesian
islands is roughly the size of a mango and is normally eaten for its potential
health benefits. The juice from the fruit is bitter, so people tend to use it as part
of a fruit juice or smoothie to mask the taste. It’s rich in antioxidants such as
flavonoids and beta-carotene to support a healthy immune system and relieve
inflammation.

Society led the committee that wrote the report. (30) As a result, native peoples who
hunt for these animals will experience food shortages and economic problems.
The report also warns of possible health risks to people. As new kinds of wildlife move
into the Arctic, animal diseases that can infect people may spread. And, northern freshwater
fisheries that supply the native people with food could suffer. The report says melting ice
would add more fresh water to the Arctic Ocean. (31) As the frozen ground warms,
many existing buildings in the Arctic, roads and industrial areas could be damaged.
The report notes some possible improvements as a result of rising temperatures. For
example, the melting ice will increase the ability of fish and other sea creatures to use Arctic
resources. (32) And, reduced ice is likely to extend the period when ships can travel in
the area.
