答案解析：
56. 根据“American businessman”可知，这里表示“一个美国商人”，“American”是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词“an”。
57. 根据“he was discovered and picked up by a London - bound(开往伦敦的) ship”可知，他被发现并被一艘开往伦敦的船救起，这是幸运的事，且位于句首，所以用副词“Luckily”(幸运地)作状语。
58. 根据前文描述可知事情发生在过去，所以用一般过去时，“land”的过去式是“landed”，故填“landed”，表示他偶然在伦敦着陆。
59. “and”连接两个并列的形容词，“alone”是形容词“独自的”，“hunger”的形容词形式是“hungry”(饥饿的)，所以填“hungry”，表示他又孤独又饥饿。
60. 根据语境可知他被叫进一所大房子，“he”和“call”之间是被动关系，且事情发生在过去，所以用一般过去时的被动语态“was/were + 过去分词”，“he”是第三人称单数，用“was”，“call”的过去分词是“called”，故填“was called”。
61. “two”表示两个，后面接可数名词复数，“brother”的复数形式是“brothers”，所以填“brothers”，表示两个富有的兄弟。
62. “told”是动词，后面接人称代词宾格作宾语，“he”的宾格是“him”，所以填“him”，表示告诉他不要打开信。
63. 根据前文“Everyone was impolite and impatient to him.”以及后文“he was in rags(衣衫褴褛) and looked dirty.”可知，这里是在解释原因，所以用“Because”(因为)。
64. “to one's surprise”是固定短语，意为“令某人惊讶的是”，所以填“to”，表示令每个人惊讶的是。
65. “try one's best to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“尽某人最大努力做某事”，所以用动词不定式“to please”，表示餐厅里所有的人都变得友好并尽力取悦亨利。
