When I first went to Britain, a lot of things seemed strange to me. For example, people drove on the left side of the road and many people carried an umbrella all the time. There were also many other things that I found really　 ▲　　 .

The first thing I noticed was how polite British people were. When I got on the bus, the driver would greet me; when people got off the bus, they would say “Thank you” to the driver; when I went into a shop, I would be greeted by a smiling salesman who would say, “Can I help you?”

The family I stayed with were very nice, but their house was full of oddities (怪现象). Firstly, there were carpets (地毯) everywhere, even in the bathroom. Also, the bathroom was full of surprises. The first time I tried to wash my hands I burned myself. The cold and hot water came out of different taps (水龙头)! Then, when I tried to dry my hair I couldn't find a socket (插座) for my hairdryer. Maybe that wasn't such a big surprise. More surprising was the fact that British people didn't take their shoes off when they went into a house — can you imagine?

I guess that for British people all of these things are normal. It's only when you visit a foreign country that you realize that what you think is normal is not. Normality depends on where you are.

People have understood that kindness is good for the person who receives help. For example,

when we give food to a hungry person，he is lucky. However, scientists have recently begun to study the effect(影响)of the kindness on the person giving it. What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer(行为者).Acts of kindness can improve health，help a person reach goals and even add years to a person's life.

The first study to show the connection between doing good and living a long life was a study on aging(衰老). Beginning in 1956，scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years. They thought the women with the most children would die first. But the number of children a woman had did not matter. Wealth did not matter. Education did not matter. What did matter was whether they volunteered.　 Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life.

Many other studies have found the same positive(积极的)effects.　 Helping other people improves long-term health. The gains are the same for men，women，old people and the young. Those who volunteered had fewer serious diseases than those who did not volunteer. This included diseases such as heart attack，cancer and stroke.

Scientists are studying many possible causes. One possible cause is an increase in antibodies(抗体)，which help fight against disease. One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness.

Another one is an increase in Oxytocin(催生素)，it is a chemical that fights the effects of stress from life. Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin.

1.What does the study in Paragraph 2 show?

A. Diseases age people fast.

B. Doing good is good for one's health.

C. Women with more kids die earlier.

D. A long marriage leads to a long life.

2.Which is not true according to the passage?

A. Acts of kindness can improve health.

B. Acts of kindness can help a person reach goals.

C. Acts of kindness can add years to a person's life.

D. Acts of kindness can increase many harmful chemicals.

3.What can we infer(推断) about antibodies from Paragraph 4?

A. More antibodies may not be good. B. They help people reduce stress.

C. They increase with one's kind acts. D. The more antibodies，the more oxytocin.

4.What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Helping others means helping yourself. B. Happiness is connected with kindness.

C. Try your best to help someone in need. D. Everyone needs to be cared for.
