We all need inspiration. Dealing with neck to neck competition in the modern era, sometimes we get tired of trying and want to give up. But movies make us look inside ourselves and, often, can be used as inspiration themselves. So, without further ado(废话), here are our Top 3 Motivational Movies for students: Dead Poets Society (1989)
Robin Williams is on top form as the iconoclastic(打破旧习的) John Keating, the unconventional English teacher who uses his love of poetry and classic literature to break down barriers at the oppressive Welton Academy. Keating inspires his students to “seize the day” rather than just wasting hours, challenge the school’s strict rules, and truly be themselves.
The film is packed with emotionally-charged, touching scenes; but the one that won’t fail to make the hairs on your arm stand up is this one where Keating’s students demonstrate what he means to them – “Oh Captain, My Captain…”
Forrest Gump (1994)
This classic movie starring Tom Hanks is very motivating. It’s about a man who has low IQ but manages to be part of many important moments in modern history, able to achieve a lot, and even given a Medal of Honor for his bravery. Gump inspires a popular dance for Elvis Presley and even plays ping pong in China. No student should miss out on this movie. Nothing is impossible if you have the will to do it…and a box of chocolates.
The Pursuit of Happiness (2006)
The Pursuit of Happiness is the amazing real-life tale of Chris Gardner who, with the power of hard work and perseverance, takes himself from sleeping on the subway all the way to the millionaire founder of his own brokerage house.
Never missing an opportunity and studying hard, after a few years, Chris works his way up the career ladder from medical equipment salesman to financial hotshot. If there’s one story that demonstrates that you should never give up, no matter how bad things get, it’s Chris’.

Working as a vet (兽医), I met a family who taught me an unforgettable lesson. They came to my clinic with their dying dog Coco. I examined Coco and found he was old and had a serious illness. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Coco, and euthanasia(安乐死) would be best for the dog.
On that day, they little boy Eric seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on.
The little boy seemed to accept Coco’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Coco's death, explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Eric, who had been listening quietly, piped up(大声说): “I know why. ” He said, “People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right?” The six-year-old continued,“Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long. ”
I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short. It has changed the way I live. I see everyday as the day that my life could be easily taken away, so I try to live my life to the fullest.

Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding. It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.
The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also pretty contagious-seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.
Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows
that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.
Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That’s why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.
It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman’s body language while she is talking, he may seem to her as caring, intelligent and attractive.
Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with a new person, mirror his or her gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.
While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as arrogant. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.
12. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Affecting each other.
B. Powerful to show one’s feelings.
C. Attractive to the others.
D. Being gentle to people around.
13. When copying others’ body language, one usually can ______.
A. send wrong messages
B. hide true feelings
C. win others’ acceptance
D. avoid misunderstanding
14. What might happen if you try to mirror your boss’s body language?
A. You will appear very attractive.
B. It will help to soften his position.
C. You will seem unacceptably proud.
D. It will be a good way to build trust.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. It is important to copy the others’ gestures.
B. Why women are regarded as better talkers.
C. Men is not good at nonverbal communication.
D. Mirroring body language can be a useful tool.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

26 We are learning from life constantly, as long as we recognise and accept those lessons. When you choose to be a student of life, you open yourself to limitless opportunities.
Explore the world. Don’t limit yourself to your hometown or to the city you got your first job. 27 It doesn’t have to be just one town or one apartment complex. Backpacking may not be for everyone, but it’s not the only way you can see the world. Travelling doesn’t just have to be going overseas but also dropping by many states. Culture exists not just in a country but even in small communities.
Acquire new life skills. Maybe it’s time that you finally learn how to fix a broken faucet or even fix
the faulty light in your bathroom. You can finally cross out your bucket list items that have been there forever. Learn how to drive a car or ride a bike. There are definitely things you don’t know how to do, and you have a lifetime ahead of you to learn. 28
Be cultured. Watch as many movies and read as many books as possible. And it doesn’t mean that you only watch the ones with high ratings from critics. Books and movies are the fruit of the writers’ or the makers’ life experiences and understanding of their surroundings. Movies and books are a good look into how people interpret the world.
29 For some individuals, to grow older means to keep your circle of friends down to a few, but that shouldn’t stop you from meeting new people. Widen your circle by allowing people into your life and letting them get to know you. Widening your circle to people from all walks of life gives you a bigger and better perspective of the world.
Do many first's. When was the last time you did something for the first time? 30 It can be as simple as watching a movie alone or as big as trying bungee jumping. Doing something for the first time doesn’t need to have a life-changing effect. It can be a simple realization that apparently, going to a film screening by yourself isn’t so bad.
So, there are so much more to learn, especially now that we’re virtually connected to everyone in the world. As a student of life, it’s really up to you to use all your resources and make it into something enriching.
A. Widen your circle.
B. Entertain yourself.
C. If you can’t think of the answer, maybe you need to go out and try something new.
D. Go beyond the place you consider home, because home can be many places.
E. You don’t always need a profound realization for everything you do.
F. Lessons are not limited to our academic studies.
G. It’s never too late to start learning something new.

作文范文:
Nowadays many schools forbid students to bring their cellphones to school, which arouses a lot of discussions among students. Their opinions vary from person to person.
Many students think that it is very convenient for them to get in touch with parents and talk with friends. They can also get some useful information with cellphones online. However, others argue that some students often play cellphones for too long, which is bad for their eyes. In addition, playing cellphones takes up too much time, having a bad effect on their studies.
As far as I’m concerned, students shouldn’t bring their cellphones to school. We should use cellphones wisely, and our parents and teachers should monitor us as well.。
