Правильно:1		2. According to scientists the result happens because of a protein called miraculin.
My host appears at my shoulder, and says, “Here, have this.” This turns out to be a small red berry about the size of a blueberry, but slightly elongated, the shape of a coffee bean.
He looks at the expression on my face. “It’s known as the miracle fruit. Just put it in your mouth,” he instructs, “and chew it slightly to separate the pulp from its seed.
Правильно:5		3. They first noticed its distinctive property when they saw local people chewing the berry before a meal.

Put the parts of the essay in the right order

A. In my opinion, it is better to have a brother or a sister then to be an only child. To begin with, if you have a sibling, you have someone to play with or to talk to, and you’ll never feel bored.
B. I would like to have a brother or a sister because no matter what happens in life, I will always have someone to share my thoughts and feelings.
C. Moreover, I guess in large families parents love all their children equally and kids learn how to love each other, too.
D. However, some teenagers think that it’s great to be an only child because they have a room of their own. In addition, their parents give all heir love, care and money only to them.
E. Finally, children in large families are usually not overindulged by their parents so they are not selfish or greedy.
F. As for me, I disagree with them because kids should learn at the very early age that the world doesn’t revolve around them and that they have to share their possessions or wait for their turn.
G. Nowadays one-child families are prevalent in most European countries.
H. Despite the fact that most adults choose to have only one child, their children more often than not prefer to have a sibling.
I. In conclusions, I want to say that despite the fact that one-child families have some advantages.
J. What is more, if you get into trouble, your brother or sister will give you a helping hand or at least some advice.
