• 2．Every September，I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know.The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.I fretted that my teachers would label me the "Jewish kid".
     The real trouble always came as the local new year's festival approached.I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah，not this festival.At school，on one day before the winter break，every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival.However，the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel，Dreidel，Dreidel，a Jewish festival song，and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks.As my friends counted down the days until the festival，I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.
     Each year during primary school，my mother would coordinate （協(xié)調(diào)） with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah.She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age.Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols.The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions.After my mom left，I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.
     My mom's annual visits to my school sparked （激發(fā)） interest from other parents as well.Over the years，we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.
     My mom showed me，my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared，an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.

• 3．A new test for COVID-19 is coming to store shelves throughout the U.S.This is the first test for the disease that you can do at home.It does not need a prescription，or doctor's approval，to use.
     Currently，the U.S.jye.ai testing nearly 2 million people daily，and most health experts agree the country needs to be testing many more people than that.Most tests still require a nasal swab （鼻拭子） performed by a health professional，followed by processing at a laboratory.That typically means you have to wait days for the test results.
     For months，health experts have stressed the need for fast，widespread home testing，which allows people to screen themselves and avoid contact with others if they have an infection.With this new home test，people can "swab their nose，run the test and find out their results in as little as 20 minutes，" said FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn.
     The test kit includes a small tool to help you to take nasal swab，or sample from inside your nose.Once you swab your nostril （鼻孔） you place the swab onto a small cartridge.This cartridge analyzes the sample and sends the results to an app on your smartphone.The app displays the results and then helps you interpret them.Users can also connect with a health professional through the app.
     Ellume's test works differently than other tests.Most tests look for the genetic material of the virus.This is the material that hakes up its genes，which influence how the virus looks and acts.However，Ellume's test looks for proteins that the virus sheds （散發(fā)）.These viral proteins are large molecules that can trigger a response from your immune system，which is the collection of cells and their responses that help the body fight off infections.
     Like other COVID-19 tests that look for proteins，Ellume's test still has a shall chance of errors.FDA officials say that people who get a negative result but still have coronavirus symptoms should follow up with a doctor.
     Although the price of the test could prevent some people from using it，Dr.Michael Mina，a professor at Harvard University in Cambridge，Massachusetts，called the new test "a great addition" to existing options.

  A．It is not efficient enough.
  B．It leads to poor management.
  C．It based on nasal swabs.
  D．It results in outbreak of virus.
  （2）What is the right procedure for home testing？

  
  a.analyze the sample.
  b.send the result to an app.
  c.take a nasal swab.
  d.place the swab on a cartridge.
  e.interpret the result.
  A．cadbe.
  B．cdabe.
  C．dcbae.
  D．dcabe.
  （3）What is a negative factor of the new test？

  
  A．It's unaffordable for some people.
  B．It has a great chance of errors.
  C．It's an addition to existing options.
  D．It causes people to get infected.
