Ugandan students' 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 ceramics (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.Eight years later, the Ugandan was also enrolled in a PhD programme focusing on design, with his art pieces sold at national-level exhibitions in China.
He says, “I love China 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 practise and try again and again.” Robert has attained the essential spirit of Chinese ceramic arts— accepting and integrating the differences.

We all remember that first cry at the movies.Whether it's tears of joy or sadness, it's quite astonishing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen.It all comes from a plan, and that plan is to tell a story.But what about those heartbreaking stories...for kids? They don't sugar-coat the realities of the world.
Actually, many great kids' movies loaded with tragedy (悲剧) are purposefully meant to stir up kids' strong feelings.According to Aristotle, tragedy aids us in facing life's unsolvable issues through sensible thought.Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids' movies is to teach kids to cope, to understand and to heal (治愈).The hardest lesson for a child is how to deal with loss, especially if it's sudden.The animation classic The Lion King tells the story of Simba, who experiences the loss of his father.Kids see themselves in Simba's character.He has dreams.He has a desire to grow and be a part of a bigger world.But it is really heartbreaking to see the loss.
Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry? The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forwards.Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it's okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you.It's an important lesson we learnt at a very young age.Sadness should not be ignored.It's important to feel sad, and that is why these films are so great.In Dumbo,Charlotte's Web and Bridge to Terabithia, we lose our beloved characters.This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them to accept sadness and makes something new out of it.
So, what is the message behind a sad kids' movie? It's meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy.It's like a cushion(缓冲) that separates stories from reality.It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata.

A.To promote a movie.
B.To explain the reason.

答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,第一段介绍了看电影时哭泣的现象,下文则展开讨论了儿童电影中悲剧情节能够教给孩子们的道理,由此可推知,第一段中提到“第一次哭泣”是为了引出电影如何引起观众强烈的情感反应,这为讨论悲情儿童电影的影响奠定了基础,因此它的作用是引出话题。故选D项。
6.What does the underlined phrase“Hakuna Matata” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Defining sadness as a treatment.
B.Challenging oneself with tragic loss.
C.Seeking knowledge to enrich life.
D.Heading forwards without being trapped.
答案:D
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forwards.”和“Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it's okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you.”可知,儿童电影中的悲剧情节有助于教会孩子们克服困难,继续向前;后文提到画线部分这一习语出自《狮子王》,它告诉孩子们,从悲伤中走出来是没有问题的,不要让悲伤影响你,由此可推知,这句话表示不要被悲伤所困,要勇往直前。故选D项。
7.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Sad kids' movies help children to escape from reality.
B.Sad kids' movies prepare children for life struggles.
C.Children can learn to ignore sadness in tragedy.

答案:A
解析:标题归纳题。本文主要论述了一些存在悲剧情节的儿童电影对儿童的意义是什么。第二段中的“Actually, many great kids' movies loaded with tragedy(悲剧) are purposefully meant to stir up kids' strong feelings.”以及“Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids' movies is to teach kids to cope, to understand and to heal(治愈).”指出儿童电影中存在悲剧情节的作用;最后两段指出,这种存在悲剧情节的儿童电影为何受人喜爱以及电影背后传达了什么信息。故A项“为什么优秀的儿童电影如此悲伤?”适合作本文的最佳标题。故选A项。

When I started my PhD, I knew my work was producing much waste, but I had taken it for granted.That all 1 one day when I saw plastic waste piled against the wall.
I went to my adviser and decided to create 3D printed lab 2 out of our waste.I meant to reuse waste as something useful in the lab.But the project didn't go smoothly.After months of 3 , I felt worried about my dream.
It was a relief when my colleagues were 4 to join us.We created a group devoted to 5 other greener ways.We began meeting every month to discuss some 6 .We introduced new recycling bins to each lab after learning that some waste could be recycled if it was sorted 7 .And we also tracked the energy consumption of lab equipment.By doing these, we could create 8 on how to use each device efficiently.
Our most energy-hungry devices were the ultra-low-temperature freezers, each of which consumed more energy than a typical household one.So, we started an institute-wide (全院的) freezer 9 programme, asking labs to remove samples that were not 10 anymore and combine what remained in fewer freezers.Through those efforts, we managed to turn off several freezers.We also 11 the temperature of several freezers after realising some samples didn't have to be stored so 12 .
I'm still disappointed that I couldn't 13 my 3D printing dream, and I'm determined enough to keep trying.I've also learnt that if one 14 isn't working, sometimes it's best to take a step back and look for other solutions.I'm 15 that with my colleagues' help, we were able to do that.
