Li Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy from the countryside. 16C . It is hard to believe that he used to have difficulties in school. When he was a little boy, he seldom caused any problems, and his family spent a lot of time together. However, things began to change a few years ago. His parents moved to the city to look for jobs, and his grandparents came to take care of him. But he missed his parents so much and he often felt lonely and unhappy.
17D .He became less interested in studying. Sometimes he was absent from classes and failed his examinations. Finally, Li Wen’s parents made the decision to send him to a boarding school.
18A . He found life there difficult. One day he told his teacher that he wanted to leave the school. His teacher was worried about him and she called his parents. She advised them to talk with their son in person. So his parents took a 24-hour train and a 5-hour bus ride to get to Li Wen’s school.
19B . “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “Now I understand that even though they are busy, they are always thinking of me. They take pride in everything good that I do.”
20E . Now Li Wen has really changed. He has become more outgoing and made some good friends in school. He has even joined the school basketball team and become active in many other activities. “I’m much happier now, and I work even harder than I used to. I know my parents love me and they’re always proud of me,” says Li Wen .“It’s very important for parents to be there for their children”.
