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.
The author’s attitude towards physical mirroring will most probably be______.
选项 A、somehow critical
B、a little disliking
C、quite objective
D、very indifferent
答案C
解析 本题是一道推断作者的态度类问题。问作者对体态模仿行为的可能的态度是什么。这需要利用全文内容推测。根据文章内容和作者所用的词语，我们可以推断出本题的正确答案应是C“相当客观的”。因为作者只是介绍了模仿行为产生的原因和人们利用模仿行为的目的。最后作者提出了建议，要含蓄恰当地使用模仿行为来表现自己的意图，否则就会冒犯别人。作者并未对此行为作评判。
