[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Kate Hashimoto was picking up a few groceries at the Upper West Side Food Emporium when she ran into a friend. "Hey Kate, do you like wraps? Here's a chicken wrap,'' her pal said. "But be careful, it's kind of wet." They weren't in the food store. They were in front of the store, digging through three overflowing trash bins. Hashimoto Dumpster-dives for all her food, doesn't use toilet paper or do laundry, and hasn't bought makeups in 10 years. She doesn't have to live this way -- she's an employed CPA . "I've always been money-saving, but it was when I was fired that I became extreme," Hashimoto explained."No job is guaranteed, so I live as if I could be fired at any time." Manhattan, she said, is a gold mine for dumpster divers."Consumers in wealthy areas expect their products to be perfect, so _ stores throw out a lot of items that are still good."New York can be the most expensive place to live, but it can also be the least expensive if you know how to work the system." Hashimoto let the reporter of a newspaper spend a day with her learning how to work the system. She lives in Harlem, where she bought a studio in 2010 and paid it off in nine months, but walks down to the Upper West Side three times a week for good, free food. Her other money-saving methods include using soap to wash herself after using the toilet, taking surveys online to earn gift cards, participating in medical trials, testing products for free samples, cutting her own hair, washing her clothes while she showers, and running to work to avoid using subway. "I was very angry about the latest round of subway fare rises," she said. Hashimoto does have her limits. Her furniture is a collection of found free gifts-- but she won't take an old mattress for fear of bedbugs, and sleeps instead on used yoga mats. And she won't stay in a relationship with a boyfriend for free meals."I've been in a relationship where I stayed because I was getting free gifts, but I got out of it," she says. "It's better to be single and dumpster-diving than to be...

[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: In the past few decades, Japanese cuisine has acquired global appeal. Japanese restaurants have sprung up almost all over the world. In Kyoto, the Heihachi Tea House boasts a 430-year-old tradition that the owners have kept all in the family. The tea house has been operated by twenty generations of the Sonobe family. The Heihachi Tea House, in the northern part of Kyoto, is one of the city's oldest business establishments. It is said to have opened in 1576. The present owner, Sonobe Heihachi, who is also the chef, represents the 20th generation of the Sonobe family to oversee the tea house. Sonobe Heihachi, restaurant owner, said, "During the middle of the Edo era, from 1603 to 1868, it became customary for commoners to dine in mat rooms. The Heihachi Tea House specialized in a dish comprised of rice with barley . It then became an inn and a little later, a restaurant." Like every other chef, Sonobe Heihachi's day often begins at the market where he personally selects ingredients that will be served to his customers. The restaurant specializes in a style of cuisine known as Kaiseki Ryori--possibly the ultimate in Japanese cooking. It offers both fresh and ocean fishes on its menu, including bream and eels. The owner's son Sonobe Shingo is also an accomplished chef. His skills include the elaborate cutting of a "daikon" radish into strips. Later they will be shredded into thin strands to form part of the garnish for sashimi. Sonobe Shingo admits that when it comes to the small details of running the business, father and son have different ways of thinking. Sometimes they clash. But they share a passion for what they do and continue to preserve an innovative and deeply rooted culinary tradition.
