But at that moment the shed caught fire. There was smoke everywhere, and the fire was getting bigger. Tom felt sick. Just then a fire engine came racing up the road and a team of firemen ran into the garden. The firemen managed to put out the fire very quickly and carry Tom to safety.

Tom woke up in hospital. His mum and dad were next to him. He felt strange.
“What happened ” he asked.
“You were very lucky, Tom.” answered his father. He was very upset.
“How are you, Tom Are you feeling OK ” asked his mum, she had tears in her eyes.
“I feel sick,” he said.

This time they created a real network: Tom, Tara and Ziggy’s parents, the school leaders, the police and, of course, the Anti-bully Squad (反霸凌小队). They all wanted to stop the bullies for good.

The Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong (《黑神话: 悟空》) has become a big hit. It sold more than 10 million copies in just three days after it came out on Aug 20. The game is based on (基于) the Chinese story Journey to the West (《西游记》).
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 of Sun Wukong’s abilities of Journey to the West.
By looking into the game and its background (背 景), Western players not only improved their gaming skills but also grew to understand Sun Wukong and the story of Journey to the West.
“Sun Wukong gives off a free, independent and chaotic (无秩序的) nature. He is not controlled by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man or Superman, who follow strict rules like ‘with great abilities comes great responsibility (责任)’,” said Patrick McCarthy from the US.
Journey to the West tells an exciting story of a dangerous journey and looks at different ideas. It has inspired a lot of stories across cultures. The book has been translated into many languages, showing its lasting popularity.
51. What does the underlined word “those” refer to
A. the game’s players B. the game’s characters C. the western games D. the western countries
52. What problem may foreign players meet when playing the game
A. The characters’ abilities are hard to get. B. The video game is too expensive to buy.
C. They are unable to improve their gaming skills. D. They can’t get the cultural meaning of the game.
53. According to Patrick McCarthy, what makes Sun Wukong so different
A. He acts based on his own nature. B. He always follows the rules strictly.
C. He sets good examples for other people. D. He has great abilities and responsibility.
54. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To explain why Black Myth is difficult to play.
B. To teach players some important gaming skills.
C. To introduce the story behind a popular game.
D. To show different characters at home and abroad.
