I used to be a very self-centred（以自我为中心的）person，but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people 1 I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a different person.
I think my 2 started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my degree and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever 3 to anyone in my class. By the end of my first term, I was really 4 . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So I tried an experiment. I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble, I 5 to help. That was really a big step for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of them are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new attitude, however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease（阿尔茨海默症）became my 6 . Every time I came into her room, she was so happy because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never 7 her, so I took her place. She let me see that making others feel good makes me feel good, too. When she died, I was 8 , but I was very grateful to her.
I think I am a much 9 person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not forget these experiences. They have taught me to care about other people more than about myself. I like 10 I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.

Plastic containers（容器）are very convenient，but they could also be very bad for your health, according to a new study from China. The two-part study found that eating from plastic takeout containers could actually increase the risk of heart failure.
In the first part of the study, over 3,000 people were surveyed about how often they ate from plastic takeout containers and whether they had heart disease. The researchers found that the more people ate from plastic containers, the more likely they were to suffer from heart failure.
The second part of the study was an experiment on rats. The researchers poured boiling water into plastic takeout containers，so that chemicals（化学物质）from the plastic would leach into the water. The water was then cooled and given to the rats. After doing this for three months, the researchers studied the rats and found there were changes in the environment of the rats’ guts（肠道）.These changes had affected the microorganisms（微生物）living in the rats' guts, and also the chemicals that those microorganisms produced.
According to the researchers, such changes in the gut are likely to cause inflammation（炎症）that can lead to heart health problems. The researchers also found that the rats' heart muscles were destroyed.
Previous research has shown that many chemicals found in plastics are bad for human health.Microorganisms in the gut have also been shown to be very important for human health. However, although it is known that plastic can have a negative effect on these microorganisms, until now it was not clear how this could lead to heart disease.
For now though, the researchers said people shouldn't use plastic containers for hot food,and that they should reduce the amount of plastic they use in their daily life.
What does the first paragraph mainly tell us
A.It is convenient to use plastic containers.
B.Plastic containers are bad for our health.
C.A two-part study was conducted by scientists.
D.People should say no to plastic containers.
8. What caused the changes in the environment of the rats' guts according to the third paragraph
A.The chemicals from the plastic.
B.The microorganisms in the rats' bodies.
C.The inflammation in the rats' bodies.
D.The errors caused by the experiment.
9. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole passage
A.①②/③④/⑤⑥

C.①②/③④/⑤⑥
D.①/②③④⑤/⑥
D
Have you ever had a bad day and been told,“You'll feel better in the morning" Well, science says that might actually be true
A study from University College London (UCL)found that people generally feel better in the morning and worse at night.
The study looked at nearly 1 million survey responses from 50,000 adults over two years. Researchers asked people questions like,“In the past week, how happy did you feel ”and“How satisfied have you been with your life "
They found that happiness, life satisfaction and general well-being were highest for people who answered the survey in the morning. But these feelings decreased as the day went on, reaching their lowest point around midnight.
Scientists believe our body's biological clock plays a big role in this. It controls when we wake up and when we feel sleepy, and it also affects our moods. Cortisol （皮质醇），a hormone（激素）that regulates moods and emotions，peaks（达到最高值）in the morning and drops at night. This could explain why people feel better at the start of the day and worse later on.
Other factors（因素）can also affect our moods. For example, our daily routines, work and social activities change between weekdays and weekends, and that can affect how we feel. This is also supported by the study's findings, because happiness and life satisfaction were higher on Mondays and Fridays than on Sundays. And Tuesdays were the happiest day of the week. Seasons affect our moods as well-people feel happier and less anxious in spring, summer and autumn compared to winter. However, the time of day still affects our moods,no matter the season.
These findings could help mental health services,says UCL's Feifei Bu. If people feel worse at night, she said,more support should be offered during those hours.
What's the meaning of the underlined word“decreased”
A.Dropped. B.Failed.
C.Passed. D.Disappeared.
11. Which question helps us understand the main idea of Paragraph 5
A.How do social activities improve well-being
B.Why does cortisol, a hormone,control emotions
C.How do daily lives and social activities change moods
D.What controls the change of people's moods during the day
12. Why does the writer give the examples in Paragraph 6
A. To suggest we should try to become happy.
B. To show how important our moods are.
C.To tell us many other factors can affect our moods.
D.To prove that our moods are different at different times.
13. What is the main idea of the passage
A.People feel happiest on Tuesdays and least happy on Sundays.
B. Time of day and other factors influence human moods.
C. Mental health services should offer nighttime support to improve well-being.
D. Winter causes lower happiness than other seasons because of the cold weather.

六、阅读填空 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过7个单词。（本大题共10分，每小题2分）
Are you a “P” person or a “J”person？ You might be wondering what I＇m talking about. These two labels（标签）come from the popular MBTI test, “P” for “Perceiving" and “J”for “Judging". It puts people into two groups according to how they prefer to organize their outside world.
Many people around me have described me as a classic“Judging＂type. I can’t live without plans. When I need to write ten articles in a week, for example, I will make a daily plan so that I can meet the deadline（截止日期）.I’ve even timed my walk from the office to the nearest underground station and kept a record of when trains usually arrive. On most days, a train arrives just as I reach the station, and this brings me a great deal of happiness.
I've met some people of "Perceiving" type. Years ago, I planned to climb Mount Hua in Shaanxi with my friends. As a “Judging“person, I planned carefully. At last, I filled my bag with ten bottles of water, plenty of mini-bread, five raincoats and so on. To my surprise, on that day, two of my friends came,empty-handed. Halfway（半途）through the journey, they got thirsty and hungry and had to depend on me for food and water.“Thanks, mate, you are a lifesaver," one of them said.
Working and travelling with people of different personality types can be challenging sometimes. However，variety（多样性）truly is the spice（趣味）of life. The mix of different personalities surely adds to it.
1. Where do “P” and “J” labels come from
2. Why does the writer describe himself as a classic “Judging”type
3. What did the writer put in his bag before the trip (Give two examples.)
Why did the writers' friends call him a lifesaver
5．What do you think of a “P”person
