“Italy without Sicily does not leave an impression on your soul: here lies the key to everything.” This

is what Goethe wrote during his voyage through Italy in 1787. In fact, Sicily is Italy’s largest island and at

the same time a small world of its own. Typically Italian and yet completely different: contrasts ( 差

别）characterize Sicily in many aspects --- scenic as well as cultural.

The sunny island has always been considered a blooming place. It is in spring that Italy’s

southernmost point shows its best, when countless almond trees turn the island into a sea of flowers.

Beautiful lemon trees are to be found all over the island, but most of all on the soil beneath Mount Etna, the

landmark of Sicily and the largest volcano of Europe.

Windswept bushes and splendid sand dunes in the southeast attract you. Here you will find Sicily’s

most beautiful sandy beaches --- extending for kilometers on end, wide and gentle.

In the thinly populated inland, the mountain area with its valleys, streams and plateaus creates an

almost mysterious atmosphere; in the mountain villages time seems to have stood still.

The islands around Sicily are worth a visit, too: from Sicily you can easily reach the Lipari Islands, for

example.

As various as the island’s landscape and sights are its people --- the Sicilians. The poet Angelo Fiore

held that, there were “five million Sicilies”, just as many as there are people. In the Sicilian melting pot of

cultures you will find elements contributed by the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Normans, the

Hohenstaufen dynasty, the Spanish and the French. Southern Italian hospitality, celebrating colorful, lively

festivals and keeping up religious customs are surely among the islanders’ characteristics.

A．To attract us to Sicily. B．To give us a taste of Goethe’s talent.

C．To describe Sicily’s unique natural sights. D．To introduce the topic of the text.

D．Sicily is filled with flowers all year round

A．The friendliness of the Sicilians. B．The melting pot of cultures of Sicily.

C．The festive atmosphere of Sicily. D．The different customs of the Sicilians.

It's good to share, right? Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also

live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With

new fashion trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is:

when can sharing become oversharing on social media?

What is oversharing? The term has become associated with social media, but it doesn't only belong to

this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have given

away details about their personal life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to

marriage therapist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with

someone. But how does this translate to social media?

Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in internet psychology, says the more details people disclose, the less

sympathy we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that we attract our own negative

experiences the more we share them. It seems that sadfishing(博同情), the idea of searching for sympathy

by oversharing, is generally viewed as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be.

However, Dr Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more positive posts we share on a platform,

the more socially attractive we become. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should

avoid complaining and being negative online. We are supposed not to show off, as it's now known---

especially about our love lives. It makes sense – if your date is going 'that well', would you really have time

to share a photo with text?

So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friendsin real life. They would

probably be more than happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaint about your

lack of money really are too much.

8. Why do some people try to overshare at parties?

A. Because they want to catch others' attention.

B. Because they just want to show off something.

C. Because they have a strong desire to pour out their emotions.

D. Because they may expect to make a connection with someone.

9. What does the underlined word in Para.3 mean?

A. explore B. expose C. display D. discuss

10. What can we know from the passage?

A. We will become more socially attractive if we post more on a platform.

B. We tend to show sympathy when things go wrong.

C. We may be considered negative when seeking for sympathy by oversharing.
