问题 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. " [br] What does the doctor mean by saying "You have to start somewhere" (Para. 2) ?

选项 A、She has to do it sooner or later.
B、She has to find the right place to start.
C、That will be a memorable first time.
D、That is a perfect time to start.

答案 A

解析推理题。根据文章第二段最后两句可知，斯科特说她当时被吓坏了，因为她第一次用假肢比赛，但是她的医生对她说，她必须从某处开始。由此可推断，医生暗含的意思是凡事都有第一次，不要害怕，故选项A(她迟早都要做)符合题意。选项B(她必须找到正确开始的地方)、选项C(那会是一个值得纪念的第一次)和选项D(那是一个完美的开始时间)都不符合文章意思。故本题选A。
