[单项选择]On the map there’s just one island, but when you get there you’ll find two distinct Sardinias. If you’re wondering which is the right destination for you, take the ice-cream test and try two gelati in Sardinia. On the wealthy Costa Smeralda I was served an ice-cream with enormous speed and efficiency by a Tom Cruise look-alike—all teeth, tan and ambition.

I’ll kill them all and then they’ 11 be sorry. I’ll be married in a cathedral with sixteen bridesmaids in pink lace. I’ll have a puppy of my own and no one will be able to take him away. None of it ever happens, of course-- or darn little, but the fantasies give you the idea that there is something to grow up for Indeed, one of the saddest things about gilded adolescence is the feeling that from eighteen on, it’s all downhill; I read with horror of an American hippie wedding where someone said to the groom (aged twenty) "you seem so kinda grown up somehow", and the lad had to go round seeking assurance that he wasn’t.
