Kids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Scout, 18, answers, "No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides , if it weren’ t for the missing leg, I wouldn’ t have the opportunities I have today!"
Scout has faced big challenges. When she was only months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. "I remember being terrified because this was my first time, " she says. "But my doctor said, ’
You have to start somewhere
.
Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said, "I’ ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips. " Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled woman to have finished the Ironman triathlon(铁人三项) in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout.
Reinertsen’ s encouragement changed the teenager’ s life. She lost that first race, but gained the confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups.
"Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you aren’ t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind— maybe with family, or homework, or friends. No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle, " she says. "Everything you need is inside your heart. Take small steps. As time goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream. "
Through Scout’ s story, the author wants to tell us that______.
选项
A、the disabled are mentally stronger than others
B、inner strength can help one overcome difficulties
C、good things will come no matter what
D、everybody has to challenge himself
答案
B
解析
推理题。根据文章第五段第三句和第四句可知,无论是什么困难,你都能克服,你需要的一切都在你的心里,故选项B(内心的力量能帮助一个人克服困难)符合文章意思。选项A(残疾人的心理比其他人更强大)、选项C(不管怎样,好的事情总会到来)文中均未提到。文章第五段第二句指出,人们会面临来自家庭、学业或朋友方面的多种挑战,但选项D(每个人必须挑战自己)并不是作者想要表达的主旨。故本题选B。
