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 as ours. 1.____
You may have noticed about how people who live or work 2.____
closely together come to behave in a similar way. Unconsciously we
copy these we are close to or love or admire. So a sportsman’s 3.____
individual way of walking with raised shoulders is imitated by an admired 4.____
fan; a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an
employer finds himself duplicating his boss’s habit of wagging (摆动) 5.____
a pen between his fingers while thinking.
In every case, the influential person may consciously notice the 6.____
imitation but he will feel comfortably in its presence. And if he does 7.____
notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he finds it pleasing
he is influencing people; they are drawn to them. 8.____
Sensitive people have been mirroring their friend and acquaintances 9.____
all their lives, and winning affection and respect in this way
without aware of their methods. Now, for people who want to win 10.____
agreement or trust, affection or sympathy, some psychologists recommend
the deliberate use of physical imitation.
