The mountains made it very hard for his family to go to the town, so he asked his sons to help him move the earth and the stones. A clever man laughed at him. “You are so old and weak! You can never move them,” he said. The old man answered, “When I die, my sons will go on. Then their sons, and then their sons’ sons. The mountains cannot grow, so one day we will win.” They worked every single day. At last the gods were moved and carried the two mountains away. 愚公移山 有位老人住在两座大山的旁边，大山让全家人出门十分困难，于是他叫来儿子们，一起挖土搬石。 一个聪明人笑话他：“你又老又弱，哪能搬得走！”老人回答：“我死了还有儿子，儿子又有孙子，孙子又有儿子。山却不会再长高，总有一天我们能挖平它。” 他们一天也不停地干活。最后天帝被感动了，派神把两座大山背走了。 （寓意：只要每天坚持、永不放弃，再难的事也能做成。） 故事阅读理解 Part A 根据故事内容，判断正误，正确的写 T，错误的写 F。 ( ) 1.
