I suffered with serious social anxiety and anger issues as long as I can remember. I never directed the anger but had a habit of being bad to myself. I hated the girl like me.

A couple of years ago I came up with a plan of positivity: every time I became very angry about something I couldn’t change or not getting a promotion, I’d do a random act of charity —things like loosing money or donating goods to our local food bank. In that way, I might feel better.

At the start of this month I and my partner went on our first holiday in years. We climbed Mt. Teide and as I stood at the top lost in my first taste of high altitude, something in my brain burst. Would it be a life changing experience or a neuron (神经元) dying because of a lack of oxygen? I felt a beam of light shining in my heart.

I came down that mountain calmly. This feeling lasted and is still going. I went back to work and didn’t panic. I actually removed my headphones to talk to someone I knew in the street. I was calm. I went to the supermarket and shopped and kept my cool. One day, I lost some money but I acknowledged it was only money and my happiness did not depend on it.

I changed my random act plan after the holiday, for every day I was anxiety-free. I’d do something to say “thank you” to life for a good day. I would simply donate to charity, donate food for humans and pets, help random strangers lift their shopping and broadcast endless positivity to my work friends.

A. becoming famous

25. What does the underlined word “something” in Paragr aph 3 refer to?

A. The idea to make a change.

B. The feeling caused by lacking oxygen.

C. The sense of enjoying the beautiful scene.

D. The tiredness caused by climbing the mountain.

26. What was the change for the author after she came down the mountain?

A. She became more generous.

B. She became fond of broadcasting.
