A
What is the definition of a dumpling In its most basic sense,it’s a pocket of flour filled with some form of tasty stuffing.And the easy ideas are surely the best.Dumplings are a popular food across the globe: both simple and complex,local and global,adaptable yet fixed in their home regions.Here are 4 of our favourites around the world to get your mouth watering.
Xiaolongbao
Served steamed in bamboo baskets,Xiaolongbao look different from other types of Chinese dumplings,as the skin is gathered at the top instead of folded in half.Xiaolongbao are also unique in that they go beyond the traditional pork filling,a small piece of aspic (肉冻) is folded into the dumpling,which melts when steamed.Thanks to the thick soup,the filling stays juicy and flavourful.
Ravioli
Italy is the home of filled pasta,and ravioli is one of its most famous offerings.Ravioli can be packed with anything from meat to cheese to vegetables,or any combination thereof.If the processed canned or bagged varieties familiar to college students make up your only impression of ravioli,change that as soon as possible,preferably with a trip to Rome.
Sichuan spicy wonton
The Sichuan spicy wonton,or Chaoshou,comes to the table in spicy chili oil flavoured with Sichuan pepper.The Chaoshou is boiled,and the very best ones are so slippery that they’re nearly impossible to pick up with chopsticks.The combination of tasty meat,smooth wonton skin and tongue-numbing oil,makes for the most pleasant runny nose you’ve ever had.
Siomay
Siomay,a steamed fish dumpling,is closely related to the Chinese dim sum snack,shumai.Think of Siomay as the Indonesian street food version of shumai,which is traditionally found in Chinese dim sum restaurants.Adopted from Chinese Indonesian cuisine,the most popular variant of Siomay is found in Bandung.The best way to sample these dumplings is from a street seller carrying a steamer on his bicycle.

Some Ugandan students study traditional Chinese craft,which 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.
Robert arrived in China from the East African nation to pursue a higher education in ceramic arts at a university in Jiangxi Province in 2015.The Ugandan is also enrolled in a PhD programme focusing on design,with his art pieces sold at national-level exhibitions in China.
“I like 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,” he says.During his stay in China,Robert was given many chances to participate in ceramic production,exhibitions and even access to experts—all helping to grow the space where he could express his creativity.
Robert spends most of his free time in local museums’ culture and history sections so as to deepen his understanding and passion for traditional Chinese culture.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.
( )4.What is the aim of Robert’s art projects
[A] To combine Chinese elements and Ugandan culture.
[B] To improve traditional Chinese ceramics in Uganda.
[C] To compete in the international exhibitions.
[D] To preserve ancient Ugandan arts.

[A] He planned to make money in China.
[B] He was eager to get a doctoral degree abroad.
[C] China is safer than any other country.
[D] China has the best ceramic materials and craft.
( )6.How does Robert strengthen his understanding for traditional Chinese culture
[A] By paying a visit to 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.
( )7.What words can best describe Robert
[A] Kind and knowledgeable.
[B] Creative and persevering.
