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”。
Language points
It is hard to believe that he used to have difficulties in school.
It is hard to believe that …是一个含有宾语从句的复合句。主句中it作形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句。
► It is hard to believe that they finished so much work during such a short time. 在这么短的一段时间内他们完成了如此多的工作, 这令人难以相信。
When he was a little boy, he seldom caused any
problems, and his family spent a lot of time together.
seldom 作副词，意为“不常；很少”相当于hardly ever, 其反义词为often（经常）通常置于实义动词之前，助动词、系动词或情态动词之后。
► She seldom goes out by herself. 她很少独自外出。
► He is seldom late for school. 他上学很少迟到。
注 意：
1）seldom 具有否定意义，用于句首表示强调时，主谓要部分倒装。
► Seldom do I go shopping by tax, unless it’s raining.
除非下雨，我很少打车去购物。
2）seldom 用于反意疑问句时，附加问句不用否定词not。
► They seldom come late, do they? 他们很少迟到，对吗?
He was absent from classes and failed his
examinations. 他翘课，并且考试不及格。
(l) be absent from …意为“缺席……此处用作形容词，意为“缺席；不在”。
► A good student would not be absent from school.
好学生是不会逃课的。
拓展：absent 用作动词，意为“缺席；不参加”。
► He absent himself from the meeting yesterday.
他昨天没有出席会议。
Finally, Li Wen’s parents made the decision to send him to a boarding school.
Finally 用作副词，意为“最后；终于”，其同义词组是 in the end, at last。在句中作状语通常位于句首、句末或实义动词之前，be动词、助动词或情态动词之后。
► Finally they got to the village. 最后他们到达了那个村庄。
► He worked out the math problem finally.
他终于解出了那道数学题。
辨析： finally, at last 与 in the end
finally: “最后”,只指一系列事物或论点的顺序,一般不带感情色彩。
at last:有时可与finally互换，但往往用于一番拖延和曲折之后，因而带有较浓厚的感情色彩，如“不耐烦、不放心、不如愿”等。
in the end:“终于”可用于预测未来，finally和at last不能。
► He tried many times, and finally succeeded.
他试验了很多次，最后成功。
► At last I have obtained my wish. 我的愿望终于实现了。
(2) send…to…意为“把……送到……”
►His parents sent him to Shanghai to study.
他的父母送他到上海学习。
拓展：send 的固定搭配
1）send up “发射；发出”
►Man-made satellites have been sent up into space by many countries.
2）send away “解雇；开除”
► The boss sent away Tom.
► His mother was ill and he sent for the doctor.
She advised them to talk with their son in person.
班主任建议李文的父母亲自和她们的儿子谈谈。
(1)advise 用作及物动词，其宾语可以是名词、代词、动词-ing 形式，也可以是that从句。advise也可以接双宾语，其直接宾语可由名词、带疑问词的动词不定式或that/wh-从句充当。advise还可由动词不定式充当宾补的复合宾语。
advise的常用句型：
1）advise doing sth. 意为“建议做某事”
► He advised leaving early.
2) advise sb. to do sth. 意为“建议某人做某事”
► The doctor advised me to take a complete rest.
医生建议我彻底休息一下。
注意：advise后不能直接跟不定式作宾语。
3) advise sb. against doing sth. 意为“劝告某人不要做某事”，有时可与 advise sb. not to do sth.互换。
