    To me, inspirations mean to put my thoughts, heart, and creations into my jewelry. Sometimes I become so inspired with what I’m working on that I can finish one or more sets in less than an hour. Because of that feeling, I have named my jewelry collection “Inspirations”.

    I am a 17-year-old student with sickle-cell anemia. With this, I am in and out of the hospital a lot. So I started making jewelry a year ago when I was in the hospital. I really needed something to do, so I was introduced to jewelry making by a child life expert.

    One day while lying in my hospital bed, I decided to get up and go to the patient’s playroom ,and look through the craft designs. That was when I became inspired to design my jewelry collection, and named it “Inspirations”.

    When I’m not sick, I try to keep a positive attitude through reading, schoolwork and craft activities. Even though there is a lot of work, I try to stay focused all the time. When I need a break or just to be free I turn to my craft activities. This is a way to ease my mind and it always helps me to especially get through those stressful times.

    I am getting very excited about graduating next year and preparing myself for college. Who knows my collection of “Inspirations” would take me to the places I always dreamed of? I may see celebrities I admire and even sell them some of my beautiful “Inspirations”. If they wear my “Inspirations”, it will be well known and in great demand. What a great way to make some extra money for college! I never thought being sick would bring me “Inspirations”. I want people to look beyond my illness and see the creations I’ve made in my collection called “Inspirations”.

    1.What does “sickle-cell anemia”refer to?

    A. A hospital. B. An illness.

    C. A place. D. A doctor.

    2.What can we infer from the passage?

    A. The writer plans to be a jewelry designer after graduation.

    B. The writer wants to be a doctor in the future.

    C. The writer will graduate from college next year.

    D. The writer is a senior high school student.

    3.What is the best title of the passage?

    A. Create “Inspirations”.

    B. How to Get Through Bad Times.

    C. My Jewelry Collection.

    D. My Illness.

    8．If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning，you would not detect interest in romance among the artists． （51）Instead，you would see plenty of animals with people running after them．Life for ancient people's earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals．
    In modern times，when food is available in grocery stores，finding love is more （52）central in people's lives．The （53）proof is all around us．It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love．An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture．
    Researchers are studying whether love，a highly valued emotional state，can be （54）created．They ask，what is love？Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth，but clean teeth go only so far．Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved．You have probably heard that opposites attract but that （55）similarities attract，too．One thing is certain：The truth about love is not yet set in stone．
    First Impression
    To help determine the （56）ingredients of attraction，researchers paired 164college classmates and had them talk for 3，6or 10minutes so they could get a sense of each other's individuality．Then students were asked to （57）predict what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners．After nine weeks，they reported what happened．
    As it turned out，their （58）initialjudgements often held true．Students seemed to （59）distinguishat an early stage who would best fit into their lives．
    The （60）NoseKnows
    Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction．Many animals give off pheromones-natural chemicals that can be detected by，and then can produce a response in，other animals of the same species．Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling （61）opento partnerships．In contrast，humans do not seem to be as （62）gifted as other animals at detecting such chemicals．Smell，however，does seem to play a part in human attraction．Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously，we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people．
    Face Value
    Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors，including seeing something we find attractive．Researchers had people judge faces for（63）attractiveness．The participants had 0.013seconds to view each face，yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces．The way we （64）assessattractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic．
    When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations，people responded to（65）positive  words faster after viewing an attractive face．Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking．
