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”。
be proud of / take pride in
make a decision / decide
miss / be absent from
change / influence
look after / take care of

● It is hard to believe that he used to have difficulties in school. 很难相信他以前在学校有困难。
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。

Language points
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”。

拓展:absent 用作动词,意为“缺席;不参加”。

Finally, Li Wen’s parents made the decision to send him to a boarding school.
(1)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.

拓展:send 的固定搭配
1)send up “发射;发出”

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:
· advise doing sth. 意为“建议做某事”
► He advised leaving early. 他建议早点走。
· 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。
· 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。
► He advised her against going out at night.
=He advised her not to no out at night. 他劝她晚上不要出去。
· advise sb. of sth.意为“通知或告知某人有某情况”
► Please advise us of the arrival of the goods.
货物到达时请通知我们。
(2)in person意为“亲身;亲自”
► You should come here in person tomorrow.
明天你应该亲自来这儿。
●“…, they are always thinking of me. They take pride in
everything good that I do.” 他们一直牵挂我,并为我所做
的每一件好事感到自豪。
(1)be always doing sth.意为“总是做某事,一直做某事”,always常用在一般现在时态里,表示经常的行为习惯。当与进行时连用,构成句型“be always doing sth.”时,常表达说话人的某种情绪,如赞扬、不满、责备等。
