Question

6．He has breakfast at 2 a．m．because Johnny Barnes，Mr．Happy Man，has work to do．From 4 to 10 a．m．，he greets commuters（每日往返上班者）as they drive by on their way to  work．
For years he worked as an electrician on the Bermuda railway and drove buses．When he  retired，he still wanted to feel useful．So he positions himself on a patch of grass next to a  roundabout that leads into Hamilton，Bermuda's largest city．He smiles and waves at every  single person who passes by．He tells them he loves them-and means it．
In the Matt Morris's short documentary，he says：
I'm just little Johnny Barnes．I'm just a little，small instrument in the hand of God be used any way he feels fit．What I do every day，2：00 in the morning I'm getting my break fast．You're still sleeping[he tells the interviewer]，I guess．
From 20 to four until ten I stand on the corner and just greet people，let them know that life is sweet and beautiful．No matter what happens in life，it's always sweet to be alive．
No matter what the weather is like，he is there from Monday to Friday，spreading love．On the rare occasion he is not there，people call the radio station to see if he is OK．
He was 88 when the film was posted in 2012．Every day he was spreading love，straight  from his generous heart．
So well known and beloved is Barnes that the city of Hamilton built up a statue in his honour．The figure wears the same full beard and straw hat that are Barnes's trademarks．So  even when the day comes for the real Johnny Barnes to pass from this life，his smile and his memory will still be at that corner，spreading love to every passer-by．
56．Why does Johnny Barnes smile and wave at every passer-by？C
A．To remind people to keep traffic rules．

分析 本文主要讲述了一位被称作是"Happy Man先生"的Johnny Barnes在退休后，为了实现自己的价值，坚持站在街角向路人传播爱的感人故事；本文还从另一个方面讲到了Johnny Barnes 在人们心中占据的非常重要的位置；如文中讲到：如果当人们偶尔发现他没出现在那里的时候，人们会担心他，并会打电话求助电台，看看他是不是出了什么事；由于Barnes很出名并且深受人们的爱戴，哈密尔顿市特意为他建了一座雕像；即使有一天他真的不在了，人们仍然会记得他站在街角向路人们传播爱的情形．
