Use clues from the passage to help
you guess the meanings of the words in the box.
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“他的学习兴趣减退、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一词应意为“影响”。
2d
2. absent
由上下文“他的学习兴趣减退”、 “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“So his parents took a 24-hour train and a 5-hour bus ride to get to Li Wen’s school.”，可知其父母大费周折赶到学校，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“亲自地”。
