句意：没有什么比这更让我感到幸福了。

carelessness粗心；happiness幸福，开心；sadness悲伤；hopefulness希望。根据后文"Ihadnosociallifeorinterests

change改变；happen发生；return归还；disappear消失。根据后文的"Insteadofsittingaroundandwastingmy

days,Ibegantoworkwithlocalcommunityserviceprojects.v可知，我没有闲坐着浪费时间，而是开始参与当地

的社区服务项目，所以应该是进行改变。故选A。

【18题详解】

句意：渐渐地，我走出了阴影,重建了信心。

built建造；led领导；stepped踏；worked工作。根据后半句"rebuiltmyconfidence”可知，我重拾了信心，

patienlly耐心地；behind在...后面；well好地；comfortably舒服地。根据uSometimes,challengesinlifewill

getinourway.和“ortrytogetpastthesechallenges”可知，有时生活中挑战会阻碍我们，我们可以选择克
