对比李文的父母外出找工作前后李文的行为和思想表现；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。
influence: have an effect on; change 影响
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。boarding school: a school that a student can stay in, i.e. he / she does not need to go home every day
由上下文“他对学习不再感兴趣”、 “他考试不及格”, 关键词classes, 可推测 “他经常缺课”, absent: not present; missing from 缺席, 不在
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, 是因为老师的建议“亲自和他们的儿子进行交谈”。
