Abstract: The main results are as follows. Let $\xi =p\gamma+q_1\delta_1+\cdots +q_n\delta_n$ be an element of $H_2(\cc1)$, where $\gamma,\delta_1,\ldots, \delta_n$ are standard generators. Suppose $2\leq n\leq 9$. (1) If $|p|,|q_1|,\cdots,|q_n|\leq 2$ or $|p|=|q_i|$ for some $i$ and $|q_j|\leq 2$ for $j\neq i$ or $||p|-|q_i||=1$ for some $i$, then $\xi$ can be represented by a smoothly embedded 2-sphere. (2) If $\xi$ is a characteristic homology class, then $\xi$ cannot be represented by a smoothly embedded 2-sphere except for $\xi^2=16l+1-n$, $l=0$ and $2\leq n\leq 9$; $l=-1$ and $4\leq n\leq 9$; $l=-2$ and $7\leq n\leq 9$. (3) If $\xi=d\eta$ for some $d\in\Bbb Z$, where $\eta$ is a primitive ordinary homology class with $\eta^2=0$, then $\xi$ is eqivalent to $(d;d,0,\ldots,0)$ and can be represented by a smoothly embedded 2-sphere.
