Grwing up, I was ften the first Jewish persn my classmates had ever met．I lived in Mississauga, Ontari, and was the nly Jewish student in my grade一smetimes the nly ne in the whle schl．This difference set me apart.
Every September, I hated presenting the nte my parents had expertly made t a teacher I was just getting t knw．The nte explained that I wuld be absent during the Jewish High Hlidays f Rsh Hashanah and Ym Kippur．I flatted that my teachers wuld label me the “Jewish kid”.
The real truble always came as the lcal new year’s festival apprached．I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, nt this festival．At schl, n ne day befre the winter break, every class wuld sit in neat rws in the gym and sing sngs frm the festival．Hwever, the music teacher smetimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival sng, and I wuld feel hundreds f eyes staring at my red cheeks．As my friends cunted dwn the days until the festival, I cunted the days until it was ver and I culd g back t feeling nrmal.
Each year during primary schl, my mther wuld crdinate（协调） with my teacher t cme t my class and tell the stry f Hanukkah．She wuld prepare treats and materials depending n my age．Every time I wuld prudly stand beside her as she tld the stry f Hanukkah and explained the symbls．The children wh had attended the presentatin previusly cmpeted t answer questins．After my mm left, I wuld verhear them shwing ff their fried treats t kids in ther classes.
My mm’s annual visits t my schl sparked interest frm ther parents as well．Over the years, we had visits frm parents wh shared hw festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.
My mm shwed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart shuld be celebrated and shared, an intentin which I cntinue t set fr myself as I cycle thrugh anther hliday seasn.

Lss aversin（厌恶）, the idea that lsses are mre psychlgically influential than gains, is widely cnsidered the mst imprtant idea f behaviral decisin-making and its sister field f behaviral ecnmics．T illustrate the significance attached t lss aversin, Kahneman, winner f Nbel Prize in ecnmics, wrte in his bk, Thinking Fast and Slw, that “the cncept f lss avers in is certainly the greatest cntributin f psychlgy t behaviral ecnmics.”
Why has such prfund imprtance been attributed t lss aversin? Largely because it is thught t reflect a fundamental truth abut human beings—that we are mre mtivated by ur fears than by ur aspiratins．This cnclusin has implicatins fr almst every aspect f hw we live ur lives.
Hwever, as dcumented in a recent critical review f lss aversin by Rucker f Nrthwestem University, there is n general cgnitive（认知的） prejudice that leads peple t avid lsses mre strngly than t pursue gains．Cntrary t claims based n lss aversin, price increases d nt affect cnsumer behavir mre than price decreases.
If lsing $10,000 means giving up the rf ver yur head whereas gaining $10,000 means ging n an extra vacatin, it is perfectly reasnable t be mre cncerned with the lss than the gain.
Why has belief in lss avers in been held s strng fr s lng? An idealized view f science is that theries are accepted r rejected based slely n evidence frm experiments．In fact, science is nt simply an impersnal search fr truth, but als a scial prcess, in which supprters f a thery must cnvince ther scientists, thrugh lgic and argumentatin, f hw evidence shuld be interpreted.
In sum, ur critical review f lss aversin highlights that, even in cntemprary times, wrng ideas can cntinue t exist fr a lng time despite cntrary evidence, and therefre, that there is a need t critically assess accepted beliefs．While lss aversin has frequently been used t explain why peple are prejudiced tward the current situatin, perhaps fittingly, the case f lss aversin illustrates the imprtance f challenging the present state f science.
7．Why did Daniel Kahneman write Thinking Fast and Slw?
A．T recrd the prcess f ur thinking.
B．T test the cntributin f lss aversin.
C．T shw lss aversin is viewed imprtant.
D．T figure ut hw lss aversin cmes abut.
8．Which situatin wrried peple mst accrding t Kahneman?
A．Rising price．B．An extra hliday．C．Decreasing price．D．Pursuing gains.
9．What des the authr think f science?
A．It is slely based n experiments.
B．It bears little relatin t evidence.
C．It interprets lgic and argumentatin.
D．Its research prcess is bjective and scial.
10．What can be a suitable title fr this passage?
A．Why Is An Imprtant Idea False?
B．Hw Can Lss Aversin Be Defined?
C．Is An Accepted Idea Really Objective?
D．Can We Take Lss Aversin fr Granted?
