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  1to some degree, though I sometimes do want to  2them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his      3and how much they know about football apart from  4goals. It seems funny that we are  5for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are  6, but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s     7.

We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn't amount to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: “Don't judge a book by its cover.” We  8not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good  9and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say  10about Beckham’s good looks.

If we close our eyes, falling in deep thought, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a  11meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with  12things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first  13has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant  14we realize that and make some changes.

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a sign of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it pains us, we will finally prove how much we have  15up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have become.
