Ugandan student’s study and adaptation of traditional Chinese craft helps build bridges through art. With its
balanced, rounded pot and cups, the tea set seems like Chinese ceramic( 陶瓷) at first glance. But closer inspection
of its pattern reveals an ancient Ugandan design. “My projects always aim to join some aspects of Chinese and
Ugandan culture together.” says the tea set’s creator, Ocen Robert.
In 2015, Robert arrived in China from the East African nation to pursue a higher education in ceramic arts at
Jingdezhen Ceramic University in East China’s Jiangxi province. The Ugandan is also enrolled in a PhD program
focusing on design, with his art pieces sold at national-level exhibitions in China.
He says, “I love it here not only because of its safety, but the raw materials and the production techniques for
ceramics here are also among the best in the world”. During his time in China, Robert was given many
opportunities to participate in ceramic production, exhibitions and even access to experts-all helping to grow the
space where he could express his creativity.
To deepen his understanding and passion for traditional Chinese culture, Robert spends most of his free time
in local museums’ culture and history sections. He also gets to know Chinese professionals inside and outside the
ceramic world. “I would love to solidify my career as an artist here while helping to link Uganda and China,”
Robert says.
“Ugandans are thankful, curious, and passionate about Chinese culture. I would love to introduce the artists
back home to study and create ceramic artworks in China and promote them to the world.”
Robert says, “To be a modern artist in Chinese ceramics, one needs to comprehend the full flow of production,
which requires years of practice and learning.” One of the most challenging areas of creating his pieces involves
creating the “ideal shape and thickness”. He says “I fail at times, but I always practice and try again and again.”
Robert has attained the essential spirit of Chinese ceramic arts — accepting and integrating the differences.
24. What is the goal of Robert’s art projects?
A. To promote traditional Chinese ceramics in Uganda.
B. To combine elements of Chinese and Ugandan culture.
C. To compete in the international exhibitions.
D. To restore and preserve ancient Ugandan arts.
25. Why did Robert choose to study ceramic arts in China?
A. He intended to earn money in China.
B. China is safer than any other country.
C. He desired to achieve a doctoral degree abroad.
D. China has the best ceramic materials and craft.
26. How does Robert deepen his understanding for traditional Chinese culture?
A. By visiting famous masters of Chinese history.
B. By comparing it with Ugandan traditions and customs.
C. By acquiring related knowledge from local museums.
D. By participating in art festivals and academic meetings.
27. What words can best describe Robert?
A. Creative and perseverant. B. Kind and knowledgeable.
C. Humorous and passionate. D. Courageous and intelligent.
C
It keeps what’s inside a mystery until you open it. There are usually toys in mystery boxes; but now, food
has been added to the list.
Recently, the trend of “leftover mystery boxes” has become popular in many Chinese cities such as Beijing,
Nanjing and Chengdu. Stores pack boxes full of unsold food or food nearing its expiration date at low prices.
“We make the leftover mystery boxes available to buy at the end of the day,” Wu Tian, a staff member at a
convenience chain store in Beijing, told China Daily. The food, such as milk, bread and sandwiches, is sold at
about half the original price and is usually sold out quickly. Many bakeries have also joined the “mystery box
club”.
Due to their low price, leftover mystery boxes “are very promising as a new business mode” and can attract
more consumers, Hong Yong, an expert at the Ministry of Commerce, told China Daily. “In addition, they follow
the concept of zero-waste and environmental protection.”
In 2021, the total amount of food waste in China reached 160 million tons, with an average of 93 grams per
meal per person, China Food Newspaper reported. Since the passage of China’s Anti-Food Waste Law in April
2021, people’s awareness of food waste reduction has increased. Leftover mystery boxes can be an effective way
for people to deal with food waste.
However, some people have raised food security concerns. If consumers buy a food mystery box for their
breakfast the next morning, even if the food looks fine at the moment, it may have gone bad overnight. Moreover,
food made in the store, such as bread, isn’t labeled with the production date in many cases, according to China
Consumer News. If a consumer unpacks a mystery box and discovers that the food tastes bad or has already passed
the last date, then it will be difficult for them to protect their rights, such as getting money back.
Only by considering both food safety and consumer rights can mystery blind boxes achieve a win-win
situation for both buyers and sellers, commented China Youth Daily.
28. What leads to the rise of the trend of “leftover mystery boxes”?
A. It offers customers lower prices for those unsold food.
B. Stores make the leftover mystery boxes available at night.
C. People feel like such food as milk and bread more attractive.
D. It goes against the concept of zero-waste and environmental protection.
29. The underlined word “expiration” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _____________.
A. purchasing B. producing C. ending D. selling
30. What is a consequence of food waste according to the text?
A. Worldwide starvation. B. Environmental harm. C. Energy shortage. D. Moral decline.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the leftover mystery boxes?
A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
D
Depending on the right combination of currents and wind, a large mass of Sargassum( 马 尾 藻 ) seaweed
circling the Gulf of Mexico may soon wash up along the US coast near Florida. The bloom(藻华), which is likely
to be the largest ever recorded, is visible from space.
Sargassum is a type of leafy, rootless algae(海藻) that form large floating mats on the ocean floor. It can be
found in the Sargasso Sea and was first mentioned by Christopher Columbus in 1492 when he was afraid his ship
would become trapped in it.
Sargassum is an important habitat for marine species because it provides food, shelter, and breeding grounds.
It absorbs carbon dioxide, an important greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, just like other floating
marine vegetation, according to Phys.org. However, when tons of it gathers along coastlines, it sends out a terrible
strong smell which can cause headaches, eye discomfort, and upset stomachs. Too much algae on beaches can harm
marine ecosystems and make it difficult for people to keep on with their recreational and fishing activities, costing
communities millions of dollars.
