A.Comprehension passage.
For two months, I have been trying to decide who makes the best ice cream. I have narrowed it
down to my four favorite manufacturers: Randolph Farms, Goodies, Disco, and Twinkle. Let's start
with Randolph Farms. Randolph Farms makes very good ice cream. They have lots of different
flavors, but this doesn't really matter to me. That's because I always get coffee flavor. They make the
best coffee ice cream in the world. I've never had hot coffee (the drink) but people tell me that
Randolph Farms coffee ice cream tastes just like the real thing. Also, Randolph Farms uses all natural
ingredients to make their ice cream. This is a good idea, I think. Second, we have Goodies. Goodies
makes excellent ice cream. Like Randolph Farms, Goodies uses all natural ingredients. They only
make three different flavors—strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate— but they make them very well.
The strawberry is amazing. Every bite of it reminds me of the strawberries that I used to pick behind
my old house. The vanilla is wonderful. It is very smooth and has a refreshing, creamy taste. The
chocolate is outstanding. It is made with real cocoa beans from Bolivia. I didn't know where Bolivia is
so I decided to look for it on a map. After hunting awhile, I discovered that it is in South America!
That's a long way to go to get cocoa, so it must be good. I would say that the only drawback to
Goodies ice cream is that they only make three different flavors. Third, we have Disco. Disco ice
cream is okay. They don't have many good flavors. Actually, the only Disco flavor I like is Bubblegum.
It is vanilla ice cream with little chunks of bubblegum in it. After you eat the ice cream, you can blow
bubbles with the gum. That's pretty fun. Finally, there is Twinkle. Twinkle ice cream is mediocre. The
only good thing about Twinkle is that it is relatively inexpensive. You can buy a whole carton of
twinkle ice cream for $4.50. That's only two weeks'allowance for me.
