Where does the First reading in a Catholic mass come from?
In the Catholic Church, there are two different cycles of readings, one for Sunday Masses (allowing the Church to read nearly the entire Bible in three years on Sundays) and one for weekday Masses (which covers the same amount of the Bible in two years). It is important to remember that Sunday Masses have three readings while weekday Masses have two. During Sunday Masses, the first reading usually comes from the Old Testament, with rare exceptions including the Sundays of the Easter Season, when the first readings come from the Book of Acts. Also, during Advent, the first reading comes from the book of Revelation on Sundays. During weekday Masses, the first reading comes from either the Old or New Testament.

How come in the Church lately they have been reading 2 readings from the New Testament instead of reading one New Testament and one Old Testament?
There are normally two readings at Mass during the "Mass of the Catechumens" or instructional first half of Mass. They are properly the Epistle and the Gospel. This question is asking about the Epistle. Traditionally, in the Catholic Church, the Epistle was more often taken from St. Paul's epistles than the Old Testament. The Epistle was to give moral encouragement and instruction on virtue and Christian living. During the liturgical reforms of the 1960s, it was decided that readings would more often be taken from the Old Testament, to better mirror the Hebraeic origins of the Mass as well as connect the old with the new, which would follow in the Gospel. Thus, presently, it is rather arbitrary if the Epistle is taken from the Old Testament or the New, since some readings remain unmodified from the liturgical practices predating the 1960s liturgical reforms. If the topic interests you, it might be worth buying or finding a missal predating 1960 and comparing it to the present day missal, to see which readings remain the same. Also, during the Easter Season the first reading (Old Testament) is usually taken from the Acts of the Apostles (New Testament) so all the readings come from the New Testament.
