根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The idiom "a big fish in a small pond" describes a person who is very well known or important in a small group but is not known or important outside that small group. For example, a high-performing high school student in a small town could be a big fish in a small pond. And he may simply not know how small his "pond" is-until he moves on to a big university. He must compete with hundreds of students who were also the best at their high schools. Here is another example. A young singer was famous in his small town. He wanted to move to a big city to grow his singing career.  "Here in our small town, "they said, "you are a big fish in a small pond. Once you move to New York City, that is going to change. Best be ready! "For some people, this can be a painful realization-sometimes called a wake-up call.  They never grow their circle of friends or work environment. Sometimes they do not take opportunities that increase their environment, or pond. By staying in a small pond, it is safer. There are fewer dangers and also fewer competitors. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary explains another way to use the idiom. It can also describe a situation where one person has more power, influence, knowledge, or experience than others within a small group. So sometimes we use this expression to describe people who want to stay in a small pond just to feel more important. A. His family supported him but also warned him. B. He may feel overly-confidentor overly-important. C. Now, some people like being a big fishin a small pond. D. People have been using this expression since the early 1800s. E. Their position is not questioned by the other fish in the pond. F. A pond is a small body of water, which is usually smaller than a lake. G. His pond just got much larger and is now filled with many more fish. 答案：【1】B【2】G【3】A【4】C【5】E
