问题     We are all naturally attracted to people with ideas, beliefs and interests like our own. Similarly, we feel comfortable with people with physical qualities similar to ours.
    You may have noticed how people who live or work closely together come to behave in a similar way. Unconsciously we copy those we are close to or love or admire. So a sportsman’s individual way of walking with raised shoulders is imitated by an admiring fan; a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employee finds himself duplicating (模仿，复制) his boss’s habit of wagging a pen between his fingers while thinking.
    In every case, the influential person may not consciously notice the imitation, but he will feel comfortable in its presence. And if he does notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he finds it pleasing he is influencing people: they are drawn to him.
    Sensitive people have been mirroring their friends and acquaintances all their lives, and winning affection and respect in this way without being aware of their methods. Now, for people who want to win agreement or trust, affection or sympathy, some psychologists recommend the deliberate use of physical mirroring.
    The clever saleswoman echoes her lady customer’s movements, tilting (倾斜) her head in the same way to judge a color match, or folding her arms a few seconds after the customer, as though consciously attracted by her. The customer feels that the saleswoman is in sympathy with her, and understands her needs—a promising relationship for a sale to take place.
    The clever lawyer, trying in a law-court to influence a judge, imitates the great man’s shrugging of his shoulders, the tone of his voice and the rhythm of his speech.
    Of course, physical mirroring must be subtle. If you blink (眨眼) every time your target blinks, or bite your bottom lip every time he does, your mirroring has become mockery (嘲笑, 讥讽) and you can expect trouble. So, if you can’t model sympathetically, don’t play the game. [br] Physical mirroring can cause trouble if______.
选项 A、the person mirrored finds that people are drawn to him
B、the mirroring has become mockery
C、the lawyer shrugs his shoulders the way the judge does
D、it has been found to be deliberately used
答案 B
解析 本题是一道具体细节题。问如果怎样做，模仿行为也会导致麻烦。利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在文章的最后一段中找到相关内容。这段指出，当然，体态模仿必须做得含蓄一些。如果对方每眨一下眼睛或咬一下嘴唇，你都做上一次，那么，你的模仿就成了嘲弄，就会遇到麻烦了。因此，本题的正确答案应是B“如果模仿成了嘲弄时，就会导致麻烦了”。
