Para. 3 __A___ 点拨
由上一段可知，李பைடு நூலகம்的父母长途跋涉到 达李文所在学校。再由空格后的李文所 说的话语“这正是我所需要的”，可推 测知李文父母亲应是和他进行了一次促 膝长谈，故应选A。
Para. 4 __B___ 点拨
读本段可知，李文的父母在那次谈话后，更 加关注他们的儿子。再由空格后面的句子都 是描述李文所发生的变化的句子，“更加外 向”、“参加了学校篮球队”“比以前更加 努力学习”等等。可见空格处句子的意思是 “现在李文真得变了”。
After that, Li Wen’s parents had much more attention with their son than they used to.
__B__He became more outgoing and made
some good friends in school. He even joined the school basketball team and became 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 are always proud of me,” says Li Wen. “It’s very important for parents to be there for their children.”
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”。
