Problems that Li Wen had:
felt lonely and unhappy
became less interested in studying
was absent from classes
failed his examinations
was shy and not able to make friends quickly
wanted to leave the schoolUse the clues from the passage to help you guess the meaning 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“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”。be proud of / take pride in
