His name is <strong>Jiro Ono<\/strong>. He celebrated his 100th birthday on October 27. He is one of more than 4,000 people in Tokyo who are 100 years old this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Ono recently spoke with the Tokyo governor, Yuriko Koike. She asked him about the <strong>secret<\/strong> to living a long life. He said the secret is \u201cto work.\u201d Ono-san said he cannot go to his restaurant every day anymore, but he still wants to work if he can. He said the best <strong>medicine <\/strong>is to work. He also said he wants to keep working for five more years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jiro Ono was born in 1925. He started working in a restaurant when he was only seven years old. When he was 25, he moved to Tokyo and worked in a sushi bar. He became a <strong>certified <\/strong>sushi chef in 1951. In 1965, he opened his own small restaurant called <em>Sukiyabashi Jiro<\/em> in Ginza, a popular area in Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many years, he worked very hard to make the <strong>perfect<\/strong> sushi. In 2007, he received three Michelin stars, the highest rating for a restaurant. In 2011, a movie came out about him called <em>Jiro Dreams of Sushi<\/em>. In the movie, he says he will continue to try to <strong>improve,<\/strong> because \u201cnobody knows where the top is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sub>Source: NHK news<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-3\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comprehension Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer the questions following the article in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How old is Jiro Ono now?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What does Jiro Ono say is the secret to living a long life?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When did he open his restaurant <em>Sukiyabashi Jiro<\/em>?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What rating did he receive in 2007?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the name of the movie made about him?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-4\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In your own words, attempt to summarise the article in 4 sentences or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-5\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discuss these topics with your tutor, and support your answers with examples or experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you live to be 100 years old, what kind of life do you want to have?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you think it is better to <strong>retire early<\/strong> or <strong>work for a long time<\/strong>?
