2- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

For most of us, the idea of soup which stops us getting ill, or crisps which relax us seems like something from a sciencefiction film. However, these are not foods of the future. In fact, they are part of a new group of food products known as "functional foods", and they may already be on your supermarket's shelves. In today's world, we all know that our diet affects our health and more people are watching what they eat. Food companies are taking advantage of this fact. They have already started to use ingredients in their products which will offer extra health benefits to their customers. For example, orange juice already contains vitamin C, but now you can buy orange juice with added calcium to strengthen your bones and teeth, so it is even better for you than  ever before. Of course, there are people who believe that functional foods are a bad idea. They claim that products such as these can be dangerous, as people may end up taking more vitamins than they need and may damage their bodies. Nevertheless, functional foods are becoming increasingly popular, and supporters feel that it won't be long before there are foods which prevent cancer, protect eyesight and much more.
