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 　16　 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 　17　 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 　18　 scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or 　19　 we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 　20　 I, consider this 　21　.  

 We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness 　22　 nonsense. As an old saying 　23　:“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not 　24　 anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that 　25　 one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 　26　 about Beckham’s good looks. 

 If we close our eyes, 　27　 in deep thought, we can find that the things 　28　 us to be in truth happy, sad or moved 　29　 a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial things, 　30　 we will find that we have not really gained anything 　31　 our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant 　32　 we realize that and make some changes. 

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great 　33　.If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it 　34　 us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have 　35　.

Once there was a girl called Arachne who was very proud of her skill at weaving. Many people came to see her 　 1　 her threads in red, blue, green or yellow that made her 　 2　 　　　　　　　

pictures glow with life. “The goddess Athene 　 3 　 have given you such a gift,” they said. But Arachne tossed her head. “No,” she replied 　 4 　 “I’ve taught myself everything I know. ” 　 5 those words, the goddess Athene decided to teach her a lesson. First she 　　 6　　 herself as an old woman and 　 7 　 Arachne’s door. When she opened it, the goddess warned her, “You shouldn’t compare yourself with the great Athene. You should be more 　 8 　 .” At that Arachne grew very angry. “ Let her come here and have a 　 9　 with me. Then we’ll see who’s better at weaving! ” 　 10　 Athene threw off her disguise and the contest began.

　 All day the two contestants wove bright 　11　 into marvellous pictures. Arachne’s was definitely 　 12　 in skill and design. At that Athene grew 　 13　 angry that she hit Archne. At once the girl became smaller and smaller. Her head disappeared and her body became 　 14　 . Her human arms and legs disappeared to be replaced with twice as many thinner insect-like　 15　 . As Arachne ran to hide, Athene laughed 　 16　 “You may live, Arachne, but you will do your weaving 　 17　 from now on. ” Hearing those words, Archne began to　 18　 a thread and to weave a pattern in the air. She had become the first　 19　 . Since then she has continued to recreate her lost 　 20　 beautiful masterpiece in her webs, and all other　 spiders have followed her.
