Read the article below on the Life Story of David Beckham and answer questions 21–35.
David Beckham is one of Britain’s most iconic sports personalities, whose name is also an
elite global advertising brand. He has been a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF since 2005
and has also been involved in promoting the 2012 Olympic Games which will be held in
London. He was captain of the English national football team from 2000 to 2006, has scored
in three World Cup tournaments and has played for clubs in Manchester, Madrid and Los
Angeles.
He was born David Robert Joseph Beckham on 2nd May 1975 in London, the son of a
kitchen fitter and a hairdresser. Beckham’s maternal grandfather was Jewish and David has
mentioned that the religion has had an effect on him. However, although he wears a tattoo
written in Hebrew he is not known to practise Judaism or any other faith. Beckham usually
plays in long sleeved shirts to cover up his tattoos in consideration of others who may feel
uncomfortable due to their beliefs.
In primary school he always said that he wanted to be a professional footballer. At the age
of 11, he attended a football school in Manchester, but then moved back to London to join
Tottenham Hotspur as a junior player. He returned to Manchester and became a professional
player with Manchester United in 1991.
David made his debut for the Manchester United first team in September 1992. By the time
he left to play for Real Madrid in July 2003, he had made almost 400 appearances and scored
85 goals. In the 1998 World Cup he played in all of England’s matches. However, he was
dismissed during the second-round match against Argentina for violent conduct, although
the opponent that Beckham had kicked later admitted to trying to get Beckham sent off.
After losing the game, England were knocked out from the World Cup competition and
Beckham was blamed by newspaper and TV reporters.
David Beckham has been a major attraction wherever he has played. On the field he has
consistently demonstrated his ability to play football at the highest level. He has become well
known for being able to pass the ball with tremendous accuracy and to score from direct free
kicks. These skills have come from his drive and ambition to be the best. The Manchester
United Manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, once praised Beckham by saying that he practised with
great discipline and achieved a level of perfection that other players only dream about.
David is regarded as one of the most stylish men in the world. Whether he is wearing a
sarong or a leather jacket, he is never less than impeccably dressed. David’s hair has also
been the subject of as much comment as his footballing abilities. He may have a shaved head
or a mohawk, but his hair has always attracted attention and inspired millions of men to try
new and often outrageous styles. Victoria is equally stylish and has recently launched the
DVB fashion label. Her every move, outfit and hairstyle are photographed and analysed in
thousands of magazines, newspapers and TV fashion shows. From this it is clear that from
football stadiums to the high streets of almost every town and city, the Beckhams lead the
way in fashion and style, and have a huge influence on people around the world.

The first step towards educating zoo visitors is to make the enclosures realistic and
the display boards interactive. Today’s enclosures are custom-built for the species
they hold.They have flora and terrain typical of the species’ native habitat and are
large enough to hold a sufficient number of the species to make a natural family
group. Outside the habitat created for the animal, enclosures are becoming more
visitor-oriented. Interactive displays, large signs and pictures greatly enhance the
learning experience offered by modern zoos to their visitors.
