The Hope diamond is one of the largest and most famous jewels in the world. For fifty years, it has been in the collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D. C. To mark its anniversary, the museum is showing the forty-five carat(克拉) blue diamond for the first time without its usual setting. Visitors can now see the Hope diamond in all its natural beauty.
The Hope diamond has a long and rich history. It was formed over a billion years ago far beneath the Earth’s surface. The stone was discovered in a mine in India during the 17th century. It was more than one hundred carats in weight. In 1668, the stone was sold to the ruler of France, King Louis the Fourteenth.
A few years later, the king’s jeweler re-cut the stone to a weight of about 67 carats. The stone was later lost during the French Revolution. A re-cut version of this blue diamond later reappeared in England.

Holding on to hope may not make patients happier as they deal with chronic illness or diseases, according to a new study by University of Michigan Health System researchers.
"Hope is an important part of happiness," said Peter A Ubel M.
