READING

FOR QUESTIONS 22 TO 28, READ THE PASSAGE AND ANS WER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.

If you love ice cream, you should try Ben & Jerry’s delicious scoops. It all began when two friends, Ben and Jerry, decided to open an ice cream shop in 1978 in Burlington, USA. They took a course in ice cream making. The course cost them $5.
The two friends only had $12,000. They rented an old petrol station and remodeled it into an ice cream scoop shop. It did really well during the first year. They celebrated their success by hosting the first ever Free Cone Day. I wonder how many children had free ice cream that day. Ben and Jerry set up their first factory in 1980 to make ice cream on a large scale. Their packaged ice cream bricks sold well in local grocery shops. Everybody loved the ice cream and wanted more. Soon, they opened new outlets and a bigger factory.
But it was not just about ice cream. Ben and Jerry wanted to do something for the society too. In 1985, they started the Ben & Jerry Foundation to help people. Three years later, they were given an award by the President of USA, Ronald Reagan. This was a great moment for them. Their work as businessmen and as good human beings was rewarded. They continued to work hard. The two friends brought out their most popular flavour – Chocolate Chip Dough ice cream – into the market in 1991. Soon, people overseas started asking for Ben & Jerry’s. So, outlets were opened in the UK in 1994.
After years of success, they sold their company to Unilever in 2000. Unilever promised Ben and Jerry that their values and the quality of their ice cream will not suffer. To this day, the company aims to make the best ice cream and always respects the earth and the environment. They still use wholesome, natural ingredients. Aren’t these good reasons for us to try out a Ben & Jerry’s? Look for their scoop shop next time you go out.
