【1】句意：这个15岁的男孩总是等着别的同学或者是老师来给出答案。wait等，是一个动词。根据上句话Wang Xiaobin never raises his hand可知，他不主动句首回答问题，而是等着别人回答。主语是The 15-year-old boy，是单数形式，故这里填三单形式waits。

【2】句意：王问：如果我的答案是错误的那会怎样？wrong错误的，是一个形容词。根据下文第三段中because of giving wrong answers可知，王晓斌这个男孩不敢举手回答问题，是因为害怕犯错。

【3】句意：王说当问问题的时候，班里只有六、七个学生举手。ask问，是一个动词。when引导的时间状语从句中的主语是a question，它和动词ask构成被动关系，这句话应使用被动语态，故这里填过去分词asked。

【4】句意：我想这个问题可能会影响我们的学习，但是我害怕在我的同学们面前犯错。mistake错误，是一个名词。这里make mistakes是固定短语，意思是犯错。

【5】句意：为什么学生们在课堂上不举手？their他们的，是一个形容词性物主代词，修饰后面的名词hands，在这里代指学生们的。

【6】句意：他们缺乏自信，或者是他们害怕因为给出了错误的答案而丢脸。lose丢失，失去，是一个动词。这里lose face是一个固定短语，意思是丢脸。空前的短语be afraid of的意思是害怕，后面应跟名词或者动名词形式，因此这里填losing。
