【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 ture. This unconscious (無意識(shí)地) mimicry is quite interesting to observe. Take, for example, the two men standing at the hotel bar. They have mirrored each other39。s gestures and it is reasonable to assume that they are discussing a topic upon which they have the same thoughts and feelings. If one man uncrosses his arms and legs or stands on the other foot, the other will follow. If one puts his hand in his pocket the other will copy and this mimicry will continue for as long as the two men are in agreement. This copying also occurs among good friends or people of the same social position and it is mon to see married couples walk, stand, sit and move in very similar ways. People who are strangers, however, try hard to avoid holding mutual(相互的) positions. The significance of carbon copying can be one of the most important nonverbal lessons we can learn, for this is one way that others tell us that they agree with us or like us. It is also a way for us to tell others that we like them, by simply copying their gestures. If an employer wishes to develop immediate friendliness and create a relaxing atmosphere with an employee, he needs to copy the employee39。s posture to achieve the end. Similarly, an upanding employee may be seen copying his boss39。s gestures in an attempt to show agreement. Using the knowledge, it is possible to influence a facetoface encounter by copying the positive gestures and postures of the other person. This has the effect of putting the other person in a receptive and relaxed frame of mind and he can see that you understand his point of view.（1）What is the best title for the passage?

Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection?
