Ⅲ. Cloze. (1’×15)
Tangyuan, those soft white balls with sweet fillings, always remind me of family warmth. Every Winter Solstice(冬至), Grandma would 41 me to make them together. “The round shape 42 family unity(团圆),” she said.
The preparation started with mixing glutinous rice flour and warm water. Grandma’s hands moved 43, turning the powder into smooth dough(面团). “Patience is the secret,” she smiled, 44 me to knead(揉) it gently. Then we would pinch(捏) small pieces, flatten them, and add fillings—black sesame(芝麻) was my 45.
Boiling water bubbled in the big pot, Grandma then taught me to 46 the tangyuan carefully. “Wait until they float,” she reminded. The kitchen was filled 47 a sweet smell that made our mouths water.
Last year, Grandma was ill. I decided to 48 her by making tangyuan alone. Though my first batch(批) came out 49—some broke open in the water—I kept trying. When I 50 the perfect ones to her bedside, tears shone in her eyes. “My little girl has grown up,” she said softly, 51 my sticky hands.
Now, whenever I see tangyuan, I remember her 52: “Life is like making tangyuan—it needs both sweetness and effort.” This traditional food not only 53 my stomach but also warms my heart. It helps me 54 traditional culture and family love. I hope this 55 will continue from generation to generation.
