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 　we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 　5　 I, consider this 　6　 .

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.

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is 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 (明智的), mature, and intelligent we have 　20　 .
