My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, "Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so
cool, that I can't help falling in love with him!" Or "What perfect skills he has!" Yeah, I agree 1 some degree,
though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 2 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how
much they know about football 3 scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we
are unfamiliar or 4 which we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 5 I, consider this one of life's 6 .
We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn't amount to craziness 7 nonsense (胡闹).
As an old saying 8 :"Don't judge a book by its cover." We should not 9 anything from its appearance. We
should all know, it is one's good character and great contribution that 10 one a star and unforgettable. Therefore
we'd better say 11 about Beckham's good looks.
If we close our eyes, 12 in deep thought, we can find that the things that 13 us to be in truth happy, sad
or touched 14 a clear meaning. If we don't go deeper and just satisfied with superficial (表面的) things, 15
we will find that we have not really gained anything 16 our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we'll
remain ignorant (无知) 17 we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a sign of great 18 . If one day we are willing to go
deeper into everything, no matter how much it 19 us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how
much more sensible (理智的), mature (成熟的), and intelligent we have 20 .
