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   36   some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they  37     Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football   38   scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or   39    which we are uncertain, but we all, my friends   40   I, consider this one of life’s 41  .

We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness  42   nonsense（胡闹）. As an old saying   43    : “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not   44  anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that   45   one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say   46   about Beckham’s good looks.

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a sign of great   53  . If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it   54   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   55  .
