Beckham in a Football Movie

    Do you like football? You must know David Beckham. But do you know that he will be in a movie? He will be David Beckham in the movie Goal.

    Beckham said, "I want to teach kids how to play football when I finally hang up my boots." "I believe that Goal will send a positive message to kids around the world."

    Beckham, 29, said, "I think that Goal will make football more popular in America and Asia. I am very happy because I can help do it," he said.

材料：唐中宗以来，铨选制度十分紊乱。王妃、公主与权戚不仅卖官鬻爵，而且不经吏部大搞“斜封官”，请托之风日盛，致使员外、试、检校等官名目繁多，冗官滥吏充斥官府。开元二年，玄宗敕令罢免所有的员外、试、检校官，严格控制官吏的选举，规定今后没有战功及别敕，吏部，兵部不得注官，结果“大革其滥，十去其九”。……玄宗以前，由于时人重京官而轻外任，地方官都是选用年高而才疏者充任。为了革除这一异端，玄宗开元二年特颁下制令，从京官中选用有才识者到地方任都督、刺史，又从都督、刺史中选拔有政绩者任京官，“使出入有常均，永为恒式”。
