V. 閱讀測驗(第 26 題至第 30 題,共 10 分)The story of Elizabeth of Austria is one of the saddest in the history of royalty. Born on December 24, 1837,Elizabeth was called Sisi by family and friends and known for her exceptional beauty, intelligence, and kindness. In1853, Sisi accompanied her sister, Helen, to Bad Ischl, a spa town in Upper Austria. Helen had been taken intoconsideration as wife to the Emperor of Austria, Franz Joseph, and the engagement should have taken place in BadIschl. Surprisingly, the emperor fell in love at first sight with the 15-year-old Sisi and then thwarted the plan bysaying that if he could not have Sisi, he would not marry at all.The couple were married on April 24, 1854, and Sisi soon became a fairy-tale princess with her charm and grace.But what came next was her failure to get used to the strict, rigid royal life. As a free spirit, Sisi valued individualfreedom above anything else and wasn’t able to identify herself as an empress or a young mother. Little by little, shewithdrew from public life, even leaving her husband and children to live in Madeira and Venice.At a height of 172cm, Sisi weighed only 50kg, even after four pregnancies. She kept rigorous diets and tookexercise excessively. To maintain her extraordinary 16-inch waist, she stuck to a diet of milk, eggs, and fruits. What’smore, she took hot olive oil bath, applied seaweed, sand or hay as body mask, and wrapped herself in face mask ofstrawberries, honey and raw veal. As for her disciplined exercise habits, Sisi practiced fencing and horseriding almostevery day for hours, which made her probably the world’s best female horserider at the time. Every castle she lived inwas equipped with a gymnasium, with mats and balance beams installed so that she could practice on them eachmorning.In autumn 1898, Sisi was assassinated in Geneva by an Italian man when walking from her hotel to the ship onwhich she was to leave for Montreux, Switzerland. The small knife poked a tiny hole in her heart; blood leaked out soslowly that at first no one was aware that she had been injured. She made it to the ship but shortly afterwards shecollapsed and passed away. A few days later, her body was carried back to Vienna and was tombed next to her sonRudolf.第 3 頁,共 4 頁
