　　一个停电的暴风雨夜里，作者点燃了两根别人送的蜡烛，她写了几张“有人关心”的卡片，觉得这真是一场“完美的暴风雨”。　　56．D　细节理解题。根据第一段的Thesummerthunderstormhadknockedoutthepower.可知作者那晚点燃了蜡烛，是因为那晚因暴风雨袭击停电了。　　57．C　推理判断题。根据第三段的weneverburnedthecandlesbefore，可知作者从来没有用过那些蜡烛，是因为那些蜡烛闻起来像篝火，作者应该是不喜欢这个味道才不用那些蜡烛的。　　58．A　细节理解题。根据第四段的thethoughtofsendingacardcrossedmymindbutneveractuallyhappened可知作者以前有送卡片的想法，但往往没有付诸实际行动。　　59．C　推理判断题。作者以前只是想着要给别人寄送卡片但却没有寄，但是在这个因为暴风雨停电而需要点蜡烛的晚上，她想起了送她蜡烛的亲戚，因此写了好几张“有人关心”的卡片寄给她的亲戚朋友，她比以前更在意她的亲戚跟朋友了，故选C。
