Do you know Beckham, a football star? Recently my ears are full of fine words from my friends around me, such as, "Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can't help loving him!" or "What perfect skills he has!" Yeah, I 16 with them to some degree, though I sometimes do want to ___17 them how much they know about Beckham, besides (除了) his 18 and how much they know about football. It seems funny that we are 19 for those things. In fact, we don't know the things well or we are not 20 about them. But we all. My friends as well as I, consider this one of life's 21 .
We need these pleasures to make our lives brighter. But that isn't equal to craziness or rubbish. As an old saying goes: "Don't judge (评判) a book by its cover." We should not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know that it is one's good qualities and great 22 that make one a star and well-known. Therefore, we'd better say 23 about Beckham's good looks.
If we close our eyes, falling in deep thought, and 24 it over, we can find the things that cause us to be really happy or sad have a 25 picture. From the picture, we find that the things are different. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with the 26 of the things, sooner or later we will find we have not really 27 anything because the pleasant outside of the things has misled (误导) us, and we'll keep doing something silly 28 we realize the facts and make some changes.
I believe that thinking it over and going deeper is a 29 of great progress (进步). It one day we are 30 to go deeper into everything, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, mad prove how wise and mature (成熟的) we have become.

Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal (偷) the bell on his neighbor’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of (抓住) the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.
Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won’t be able to hear the noise.” The next day he went to the door of his neighbor, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbor came running out. “Steal my bell? I’ll teach you a lesson (教训),”the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.
