In English class, the teacher is talking, but you are thinking about playing outside with your friends. This is called mind wandering.

It has caused a lot of stories across cultures too. Many players, especially those from Western countries, find the game’s story and characters hard to understand because it’s so much about Chinese culture. To help, some Western fans have put in a lot of work. One fan even wrote a long article to introduce Sun Wukong’s magical abilities. The game comes from the Chinese story Journey to the West. After understanding the story behind it, Western players know the main character Wukong better and see him as a hero. “In the US, a hero fights bad guys while also setting a good example for others. However, Wukong is very special. Sometimes, he is naughty and makes trouble. For example, he steals and eats magical fruit. Also, he is proud and wants others’ respect (尊重). If people don’t give him respect, he gets angry and might start a fight. Still, Wukong can be a hero. He leads his monkeys to find a home. He helps protect his master on their journey. He does good things because he wants to, not because he has to follow any rules,” said Patrick from the US. By playing the game, Western players not only improved their gaming skills but also grew to understand Chinese culture. It’s really a good way to show our culture. 26. What kind of writing is this passage? A. A diary. B. A letter. C. A story. D. A report. 27. Patrick from the US thinks Wukong is a hero, because he ________. A. makes trouble B. eats magical fruit C. starts a fight D. does good things 28. According to the passage, we can infer (推断) Western players will ________. A. be heroes like Wukong B. play the game better than Chinese C. know more about Chinese culture D. write a story about Chinese culture 29. What’s the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Journey to the West. B. Sun Wukong. C. Black Myth: Wukong. D. Chinese Culture. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，选项有一项为多余选项。 Bees are truly fantastic. They are always flying around gardens or woods.
