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一词应意为“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，不再”。
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“亲自地”。
