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 26 to some degree, though I sometimes do want to 27 them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his 28 and how much they know about football apart from 29 goals. It seems funny that we are 30 for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 31 , but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s 32 .
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 33 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good 34 and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 35 about 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 36 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 37 things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 38 has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant 39 we 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 40 up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have become.
