New and Notable in Tarryville

Many in our small city thought we would never have a restaurant-delivery service. - [1] -. But thanks to two enterprising young people, we now have TYL Delivers! Alicia Kazarian and Theresa Cho were m their final year at the local university when they came up with their plan last May. "We were studying for exams one night and wanted to avoid going out for dinner. We were frustrated by the limited options available in Tarryville for food delivery. We wanted an easy way to find, order, and pay for our meals. - [2] -. But no such service existed here," said Ms. Cho.

In an effort to fill the food-delivery gap in Tarryville, TYL Delivers connects diners and restaurants on an online platform that serves each of their needs. - [3] -. Restaurants can reach a broader clientele, and customers can choose from an impressively diverse list of vendors, select and order their food, and pay through one of a number of online payment methods, all from the convenience of their home or office. The restaurants partnering with TYL Delivers are spread across most of Tarryville's neighborhoods and offer food options to suit any budget. - [4] -. "We think we're off to a good start, but we already have improvements in mind," said Ms. Kazarian. "Some food-delivery services promise that orders will be delivered in as little as 30 minutes. We hope eventually to deliver within a specified time, but we need to ensure that all aspects of our service are working properly before officially making that promise."

The head of the Tarryville Business Council, Barry Porter, expressed enthusiasm for the new business. "Of course, I am always excited for a new business to open here in Tarryville. But this is a business that local residents have long wished for. And, with the recent opening of Crisley Office Park on the south side of the city, I am sure TYL Delivers will be a success."

164. What is the purpose of the article?
A) To review a restaurant that just opened
B) To interview a famous Tarryville resident
C) To report on the construction of a new city building
D) To describe a recently launched business

165. According to the article, what is NOT offered by TVL Delivers?
A) Guaranteed delivery times
B) Online menus
C) Convenient payment options
D) A variety of participating vendors

166. What does Mr. Porter suggest about the businesses at Crisley Office Park?
A) They will soon move to another location.
B) They will order from TVL Delivers.
C) Some of them will be restaurants.
D) Some of them will hire local university students.

167. In which of the positions marked [1], [2], [3], and [4] does the following sentence best belong?

Questions 181-185 refer to the following article and online review.

KENT (26 February)- Stellar Chocolates is a local business offering a wide selection of handcrafted delicacies. With two shops in Kent, the business is well-known in the area. Recently, however, Stellar Chocolates gained national recognition by earning top awards from the Chocolate Council last month.

Stephanie Davidson, who co-owns the shops with Brian Markus, emphasises the sources and quality of Stellar Chocolates. "Before launching the business, Brian and I spent several months travelling to areas of the world known for quality cacao-bean production. We inspected the plants and learned about traditional harvesting and roasting processes," she said. In fact, production started only after the co-owners had secured the finest ingredients for their products. They now incorporate a variety of other ingredients such as chili, basil, and even wasabi, to create a unique line of chocolates.

Demand for Stellar's line has continued to grow, and the firm expects to open a third shop in Bath later this year. Ms. Davidson noted that they have found additional space in an old mill to be converted for retail use. "The new shop will be our largest, and we plan to establish a mail-order business so that we can ship not just domestically but also internationally," she said.

Today I visited the new Stellar Chocolates shop that opened a few weeks ago in the former mill, expecting to see an ordinary candy store. What a surprise! I was delighted to taste some free samples while watching the chocolates being made by hand. I even had a chance to chat with one of the owners, who told me about the origin of their business. She met her co-owner ten years ago in a class at university, and they came up with the business idea for an assignment. They got such positive comments from their professor and fellow students that they decided to turn their idea into a career project. I look forward to many future visits, as the shop is just around the corner from my home.
