Finding Paradise (天堂) and Success in Retirement
Ivy Singh and her husband had their retirement all planned out. They wanted to have a place with enough land to grow plants. The couple successfully found a proper place and turned it into a farm called Bollywood Veggies. "We came and had a look and we found paradise. We started Bollywood Veggies there and then," she says.
The basic idea of starting the farm was to keep themselves busy in retirement. Mrs. Singh says it was never begun as a business. "We started this as a lifestyle project for retirement." The farm's produce includes beans, cabbage and other crops. Soon, more people found out about the farm. Visitors often asked whether the farm offered any food or drinks. So the couple started a restaurant and a food museum on the farm.
As the farm changed from a retirement to a commercial project, Mrs. Singh sought new business opportunities. A key area was growing bananas. Given the popularity of bananas and their use in a range of food products, she saw great potential. The farm uses its crop to make products such as banana chips and bread.
Mrs. Singh, driven by the success of the project, now wants to open a retirement home on the farm. She says the farm is a nice place for people who have retired.
Mrs. Singh says she does not care much about the profit, because she is getting to live her dream while making a difference to society.
The couple opened a restaurant close to the farm.
A、True
B、False
C、Not Given
【正确答案】:B
【题目解析】:题干大意:这对夫妇在农场附近开了一家餐馆。定位到文中第二段的最后一句,“So the couple started a restaurant and a food museum on the farm.”,于是这对夫妇在农场开办了一家餐馆和一个食品博物馆。原文提到是在农场里开的餐馆,而不是在农场附近开的餐馆,题目与原文意思不相符,故选B。
