上次读到玛丽住在她爸爸妈妈认识的一个人家，因为她难以相处，激怒了这家的一个孩子，Basil,受到了Basil的嘲笑。
今天这段接着讲了玛丽和Basil的对话。
'You're going home soon,'said Basil.'And we're all very pleased you're leaving!'
'I'm pleased too,'replied Mary.'But where's home?'
‘You're stupid if you don't know that!'laughed Basil. 'England, of course! You're going to live with your uncle, Mr Archibald Craven.'
'I've never heard of him,'said Mary coldly.
'But I know about him because I heard Father and Mother talking,'said Basil. 'He lives in a big lonely old house, and has no friends, because he's so bad-tempered.He's got a crooked back,and he's horrid.'
前面也出现过“bad-tempered”这个词，在故事开始第一段的末尾说到玛丽时:
In fact，she was a very selfish, disagreeable,bad-tempered little girl.
"bad"意思是“坏的”。“tempered”意思是“脾气……的，性情……的；有气质的”。这两个词合在一起指“坏脾气的”“脾气暴躁的”“易怒的”。
返回去找这个词的时候，我们顺便也复习去了“selfish"（自私的）和“disagreeable”（难相处的）。
这几个都是形容词，初学英语的要记住，形容词前要加“是”。比如:
我很自私、难相处、脾气暴躁。
I am selfish，disagreeable，bad-tempered.
他们很自私、难相处、脾气暴躁。
They are selfish，disagreeable，bad-tempered.
上次学习了“现在完成时”和“过去完成时”的肯定句形式，今天接着学习这两种时态的疑问句形式。
结构:
现在完成时的疑问句形式是在肯定句的基础上，将助动词have/has提到主语之前。
其基本结构为:
Have/Has+主语+动词的过去分词+ 其他成分
一般疑问句
用于询问某个动作是否发生或状态是否
存在。
结构:Have/Has+主语+过去分词...?
助动词选择:
Have...?用于主语是I，you,we,they 或复数时。
Has...?用于主语是he，she,it或单数时。
例如，
本段中“I have never heard of him.”去掉否定词“never”变成现在完成时的肯定句:
I have heard of him.
我听说过他。
要把这句变成一般疑问句，把“have”提到句子前面即可:
Have I heard of him?
我听说过他吗？
若换成第三人称单数，是这样的:
Mary has heard of him.
玛丽听说过他。
变一般疑问句:
Has mary heard of him?
玛丽听说过他吗？
过去完成时的疑问句和现在完成时基本一样，只是将“have”或“has”换成“had”即可。
比如:
She had heard of him before she met him.
在她见到他之前，她曾听说过他。
疑问句:
Had she heard of him before she met him?
在她见到他之前，她曾听说过他吗？
