閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D) 中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

                                          A 

                It was on one beautiful morning in the year 1966 when a charming and attractive man visited a Greek restaurant in London with his friends. It was like any other hangout time for him. But little did he know that his life was soon going to change.

                Sonia Maino,who was working at the same restaurant as a part-time waitress for her pocket money,soon saw him and felt an instant connection with the young and good-looking man. It was love at first sight for both. Sonia came from an ordinary background in Italy,and was studying at Cambridge at that time.

                After spending a long time on courtship(戀愛期) ，Sonia discovered that the guy of her dreams was none other than Rajiv Gandhi,son of the first political family of India. The two tied the knot in Delhi in 1968. Who would have ever thought that this love at first sight would land an ordinary girl from Italy into the Forbes list of most powerful people in the world?

                An Italian girl was not of course what India's first family,the Nehru-Gandhi family,was looking for.Rajiv's  mother,Indira Gandhi was initially unsatisfied with the marriage. But as time passed,Indira and Sonia developed an inseparable bond.

                Rajiv desired to stay away from the glare of politics and so did Sonia. Rajiv became a pilot for Indian Airlines and the couple lived a peaceful life. But destiny(命運(yùn)) had something else in store for them. Rajiv1's mother and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984. Her death forced Rajiv to take over his mother's place and join politics. Rajiv ruled as Prime Minister till 1989. He was assassinated in a bomb attack in 1991.

                After Rajiv's ill-timed death,Sonia was so desperate that she decided to stay away from politics. But probably it was Rajiv's love that gave her the strength to gather herself and take over (國大黨) ，which was in a worsening condition. She led the party to victory in the 2004 and 2009 elections but refused to become Prime Minister,when the opposite party raised the question of her Italian origin.

                Their love story is one which will be remembered by generations to come.
