2．"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.
（1）Why are Goethe's words mentioned in the first paragraph？
A．To attract us to Sicily.
B．To introduce the topic of the text.
C．To give us a taste of Goethe's talent.
D．To describe Sicily's unique natural sights.
（2）How do you understand the underlined phrase "a small world of its own"？
A．Sicily is separated from the Italian mainland.
B．Sicily has unique scenes and cultures.
C．Sicily represents Italian cultures.
D．Sicily is Italy's largest island.
（3）According to the text，.
A．Sicily is filled with flowers all year round
B．the mountain villagers lead a fast-paced life
C．Mount Etna is at a short distance from Sicily
D．you can enjoy sandy beaches in the southeast

3．What should you think about when you try to find your career？You are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show strengths that you can use in your work.A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career.A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school.On the other hand，you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job，they may have indirect value.
Your school may have taught you skills，such as typing or technical drawing，which you can use in your work.You may be good at mental work or cookery （烹调术） and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part - time job on Saturday or in the summer，think what you gained from it.If nothing else，you may have learned how to get to work on time，to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.You may have learned to give correct change in a shop，for example.Just as important，you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part - time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing jye.airself.You may be all thumbs when you handle tools；perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record，for instance，may not be too good，yet it is an important part of your background.You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

A．the indirect value of school work
