问题 When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people. She had not wanted a little girl at all, and when Mary was born she handed her over to the care of an Ayah, who was made to understand that if she wished to please the Mem Sahib she must keep the child out of sight as much as possible. So when she was a sickly, fretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way, and when she became a sickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way also. She never remembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and the other native servants, and as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way in everything, because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her crying. By the time she was six years old she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived. The young English governess who came to teach her to read and write disliked her so much that she gave up her place in three months, and when other governesses came to try to fill it they always went away in a shorter time than the first one. So if Mary had not chosen to really want to know how to read books she would never have learned her letters at all.
选项
答案 玛丽·伦诺克斯被送到了米斯特威特庄园的舅舅家居住时，人人都说她长得不讨人喜欢。其实也是。看看她瘦削的脸庞，消瘦的身子，稀稀疏疏的头发，还有一脸闷闷不乐的表情就知道了。她出生于印度，总是生这样那样的病，所以不仅头发枯黄，脸也是蜡黄的。她的父亲在英国驻印度的殖民政府里供职，总是忙得不可开交，弄得自己也是一身病。她妈妈是个大美人儿，但只关心各种聚会，混迹于社交场合以寻欢作乐。她本来就没想要女孩儿，所以玛丽出生后，就把她交给了奶妈照顾。奶妈后来明白了，要是想让梅姆·萨西卜高兴的话，就把孩子带到她看不到的地方。所以在玛丽还是一个体弱生病、爱哭闹的丑宝宝时，她就被带到了静人耳目的地方。在这个仍然多病脾气暴躁的小女孩学会走路的时候，还是被搁得远远的。玛丽从小到大最熟悉的莫过于奶妈以及家里其他几个女仆黝黑的面庞。她们总是听玛丽的话，对她百依百顺，因为她的哭声若是打扰到了梅姆，梅姆会非常生气的。玛丽六岁的时候，她就像一只小猪一样又专横又自私。家里来了个年轻的英语家庭教师教玛丽读书和写字，但她很不喜欢玛丽，所以三个月后就辞掉工作不干了。后来又有人来填补这个空缺时，他们都是还没第一个干得时间长就走人了。所以，如果玛丽不是真心想要读书学字，她将永远不会认得字母。
