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 　16　 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 　17　 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 　18　 scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or 　19　 we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 　20　 I, consider this 　21　.  

 We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness 　22　 nonsense. As an old saying 　23　:“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not 　24　 anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that 　25　 one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 　26　 about Beckham’s good looks. 

 If we close our eyes, 　27　 in deep thought, we can find that the things 　28　 us to be in truth happy, sad or moved 　29　 a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial things, 　30　 we will find that we have not really gained anything 　31　 our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant 　32　 we realize that and make some changes. 

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great 　33　.If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it 　34　 us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have 　35　.
