阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

A

My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest（竞赛）at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion, I’d call my father right away and he’d rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970, when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I don’t know which of us was more excited.

Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their love not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity nothing could have felt more natural.

He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn’t get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle（车辆）with less than four wheels.

Because of that motorcycle, I wasn’t allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.

56. When I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, my father would________

A. tell all his friends about it B. feel most happy over it

C. get very surprised at it D. be much more excited than I

57. I hugged and kissed my father at every opportunity, _________.

A. even though I hated to do it

B. because I was told to do it by my father

C. as I was named president of the Ford Motor Company

D. for I felt it quite natural to do it

58. Which of the following statements shows that my father was a curious man?

A. I wasn’t allowed to have a car when I was growing up.

B. He was the first man in the town
