However, Li Wen was shy and was not able to make friends quickly in school. He found life there difficult. One day he told his teacher that he wanted to leave the school. _____and she called his parents. She advised them to talk with their son in person.

Para. 1 _____

C

Para. 3 _____

3. Li Wen was shy and was not able to make friends quickly in school.
2d Use clues from the passage to help you guess
the meanings of the words in the box.
influence absent boarding school in person
1. influence
对比李文的父母外出找工作前后李文的行为和思想表现；再由下文“他变得对学习不感兴趣、逃课、考试不及格”等情况的出现，可知是李文不高兴的情绪“影响”了他的学业。
故influence一词意为“影响”。
2. absent
由上下文“他对学习不再感兴趣”、 “他考试不及格”，以及关键词classes，可以推测 “他经常缺课”，可知absent意为“缺席，不在”。
3. boarding school
由上文“ …he was absent from classes and failed his examinations和Li Wen’s parents made the decision”可知其父母送其去了一所寄宿制学校。
4. in person
由下文“His parents took a 24-hour train and a 5-hour bus ride to get to Li Wen’s school.”，可知其父母费如此大的周折赶回家来，就是因老师的建议“亲自和他们的儿子进行交谈” ，故可推测in person意为“亲自”。

他终于解出了那道数学题。
辨析： finally, at last 与 in the end
finally: “最后”,只指一系列事物或论点的顺序,一般不带
感彩。
at last:有时可与finally互换，但往往用于一番拖延和曲折之
后，因而带有较浓厚的感彩，如“不耐烦、不
放心、不如愿”等。
