One day a big turtle came and looked down into the well. “Come and see the sea,” said the turtle. “The sea is thousands of miles wide and very deep.” The frog looked around his little well and said, “But look at my home! It is small and clean, and I can jump here happily. Nothing can be nicer than this.” The turtle wanted to show him the sea, but the well was too small for him. The frog still believed that his little well was the biggest place in the world. 井底之蛙 一只青蛙住在一口很老的井里，从没见过井外的世界。 一天，一只大海龟来到井口往下看，说：“来看看大海吧，大海有几千里宽，深得很呢。”青蛙看看自己小小的井，说：“你看我的家多好，又小又干净，我在这儿跳得正高兴，没有比这更美的了。”海龟想带他去看大海，可是井太小，装不下他。 青蛙仍然相信，自己这口小井就是世界上最大的地方。 （寓意：眼界狭窄的人，往往以为自己看到的就是整个世界。） Part A 根据故事内容，判断正误，正确的写 T，错误的写 F。 ( ) 1.
