31、”的具体内容。因此这样要用that来引导。4saying考查固定搭配。go on doing sth. 意为“接着做某事”； go on to do sth. 意为“继续做另外一件事”。根据句意可知：我的儿子继续说道。故填saying。5did考查助动词。根据语境可知，此处表示强调过去确实发生的事，do是助动词，表强调。故填did。6friends考查名词复数。a few修饰可数名词，此处应该用名词的复数。故填friends。7for考查介词。for表示目的，意为“为了”。故填for。8a考查冠词。make a statement意为“发表声明”。故填a。9being bullied考查现在分词。分析句子结构可知，此处用现在分词的被动式作定语，修饰空前的person。故填being bullied。10respected考查过去分词。分析句子结构可知，此处用被动语态，即要用respect的过去分词respected。故填respected。
