解析：
【分析】做短文填空时，需遵循“首字母提示+上下文语境+语法规则”的思路：1. 先根据首字母确定单词的大致范围；2. 结合前后文的语义逻辑（如指代、转折等）判断单词含义；3. 分析空格在句中的成分，确定单词词性，最终选出符合要求的正确单词，保证短文通顺连贯。
【解析】
56. 空格后是名词name，结合前文“new English teacher”（男性），首字母H，需用形容词性物主代词修饰名词，故填His。
57. 前文提到老师来自美国，后文说现在住在南通，语义为转折，首字母b，故填连词but。
58. 主语是第三人称单数he，形容词短语not very tall前需be动词，首字母i，故填is。
59. 前文描述外貌，动词wear（戴）后接表示物品的名词，首字母g，故填glasses（眼镜），wear glasses是固定搭配。
60. 此处为“make sb + 动词原形”结构，结合首字母l，表达“看起来”的含义，故填look。
61. 主语是第三人称单数Mr Smith，结合“work hard（努力工作）”的固定搭配，首字母w，故填works。
62. 前文说老师有很多好主意，结合“make the class + 形容词”结构，首字母i，表达“有趣的”，故填interesting。
63. 介词with后需用人称代词宾格，结合首字母u，指代“我们”，故填us。
64. 此处修饰动词play，需用副词，首字母w，表达“好”，故填well。
65. 结合前文“loving in China”，修饰名词food，首字母C，表达“中国的”，故填Chinese。
【答案】56. His 57. but 58. is 59. glasses 60. look 61. works 62. interesting 63. us 64. well 65. Chinese
