became difficult.

Paragraph 4:It tells what Li Wen is like now.
1. It is hard to believe that ...句型用法
It is hard to believe that …是一个含有宾语从句的复合句。主句中it作形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句。
e.g. It's hard to believe they didn't come to work.实在无法相信他们居然没上班。
2. be absent from 用法
(1) absent的基本意思是“缺席的,不在场的”,在句中可用作定语或表语。用作表语时常与介词from连用,有时还可接动名词,主语一般为人。
e.g. Many students were absent, notably the monitor.许多学生缺席，特别是连班长也没来。
(2)absent用作及物动词时常接反身代词作宾语,其后常接from引起的介词短语。absent偶尔也可用作不及物动词。
e.g. Why did you absent yourself from school yesterday 昨天你为何不到校

3.seldom用法
seldom为表示频率的副词，意思是“很少；不常”，反义词是often。
①seldom通常放在一般动词之前，be动词、情态动词及助动词等之后。
She seldom goes out at night. 她晚上很少出门。
②可用very修饰seldom，意思是“极少”，通常放在句末。
She is ill very seldom. 她极少生病。
③ seldom虽表示不完全否定，但由于其含有否定的意义，故含有seldom的句子相当于否定句；在反义疑问句中，疑问部分要用肯定式。
You seldom call on your parents, do you 你很少去看望你的父母，对吗？
④由于seldom含有否定的意义，故将其放在句首时，应使用部分倒装语序，即将be动词、助动词、情态动词放在主语的前面。将seldom放在句首，主要是为了加强句子的语气。
She seldom reads newspapers.→ Seldom does she read newspapers. 她很少看报。
知识拓展
4. finally 用法
finally 用作副词，表示先后顺序的“最后”、“终于”，通常放在句首，其同义词组是 in the end, at last。
The carwouldn’t start, so finally we decided to go on foot. 汽车不能发动，所以我们最后决定走路去。
(2)表示等了好久才“终于”，此时通常放在谓语动词之前 (若有助动词放在助词后)。
After several long delays, the plane finallyleft at 6 o’clock. 在几次长时间的耽误之后，飞机终于在6点钟起飞。
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。
in the end:“终于”可用于预测未来，finally和at last不能。
He tried many times, and finally succeeded.他试验了很多次，最后成功。
At last I have obtained my wish. 我的愿望终于实现了。
知识拓展
5. advise用法
advise 用作及物动词，其宾语可以是名词、代词、动词-ing 形式，也可以是that从句。advise也可以接双宾语，其直接宾语可由名词、带疑问词的动词不定式或that/wh-从句充当。advise还可由动词不定式充当宾补的复合宾语。
①advise sth / sb
The doctor advised a complete rest. 医生让完全休息。
②advise sb to do
They advised him to wait. 他们劝他等待。
③advise doing sth.
I'd advise taking a different approach. 我建议换个方式。
④advise sb's doing
I advised his starting at once. 我劝他马上动身。
知识拓展
⑤advise + wh- + to do

6. in person用法
in person在句中常充当状语修饰动词，意为“亲身；亲自”。
Many absented this afternoon, appearing neither in person nor proxy.这天下午许多人没有到场，既不见他们本人也不见他们的代表。
7. take pride in“为……感到自豪/骄傲，与be proud of 同义。后接让人引以为荣的对象，其中pride为抽象名词，意为 “自豪；骄傲”，in 为介词，后接名词、代词或动名词作宾语。
I am proud of my child. 我以我的孩子为荣（我为我的孩子感到骄傲）。
I take pride in my work. 我以工作为荣。
