I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I really changed. I have started to think about other people after I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming the different person.
I think my change started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just want to get my degree and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever talked to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really lonely. That seemed as if everyone besides me had made friend and was having fun. So I tried an experiment. I started asking people around me how they were doing, and whether they were having trouble, I offered to help. That was real a big step for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, two of them are still my best friends today. 

Answer 1

【小题1】I 和really之间加have。
【小题2】after →before
【小题3】the →a
【小题4】want →wanted
【小题5】That →It
【小题6】besides → but/except 
【小题7】friend →friends
【小题8】whether→if/when
【小题9】real →really
【小题10】them → whom或者去掉are或者two前加and。

解析试题分析：以自我为中心的人就不会有朋友，当我意识到这一点时，我开始改变自己，努力为别人着想，帮助有麻烦的人，终于我交到了好朋友。
【小题1】根据in the past two years 这个时间状语可知用现在完成时。所以在I 和really之间加have。
【小题2】应该理解为先人后己。所以after →before。
【小题3】成为一个不一样的人。没有特指。所以the →a。
【小题4】讲述过去的事，要用动词的过去式。所以want →wanted。
【小题5】It seems that …是固定句式，意为似乎……。所以That →It。
【小题6】everyone后面用but/except表示除了….大家都……。所以besides → but/except 。
【小题7】交朋友应该是make friends。
【小题8】如果/当朋友有困难，我就主动帮助他们。所以whether→if/when。
【小题9】be 动词后用副词修饰。所以real →really。
【小题10】最后一句，要么后面是定语从句，要么是独立主格结构，要么前后是并列句。所以有三种变法：them → whom或者去掉are或者two前加and。
考点：短文改错。
