问题     Emulating your conversation partner’s actions is a common human behavior classified as "mirroring" and has been known and studied by psychologists for years. We all tend to subconsciously copy gestures of people we like. But why do we act like this?
    As a rule, mirroring means that conversationalists enjoy their communication and that there’s a certain level of agreement between them. The topic of discussion is equally interesting for both and they know their interests meet.
    Repeating someone’s behavior is typical of talented communicators, not always because the person is sympathetic, but because there is a goal to be achieved. This way new idols have been brought to the stage: politicians, celebrities, and other big names. Popular culture makes people want to look popular, and act and speak like popular people.
    Nowadays celebrities steal lyrics from each other and struggle with copyright violation accusations or straightforwardly claim themselves to be the authors, even though all the work was done by other people.
    Among celebrities, it’s trendy nowadays to use their own speech writers as politicians do. The so-called "ghostwriting" can take various forms: books, articles, autobiographies, and even social media posts.
    Who is a true copycat (抄袭者) and who gets copycatted? Sometimes, it is a hard nut to crack without an expert’s help. But new authorship defending methods based on identifying individual writing patterns are already here. Their aim is to protect intellectual property. Using scientific methods, some of them can define authorship with 85% accuracy.
    Writing is not an easy craft to master. If you want to write like a professional without plagiarism (抄袭), there are a few lessons to learn and the first one is: "Copy from one, it’s plagiarism; copy from two, it’s research." The correct interpretation of this statement is not about copying, but rather about creating your own style. When you study an author’s writing style, don’t stop on a single one, but explore numerous styles instead. Examine types of sentences they use, pay attention to their metaphors, and focus on stories you feel you could write a pretty cool sequel (续篇) to.
    Imitation is rather paradoxical. As an integral part of learning, it brings about positive changes, making people develop and grow. However, it may do a lot of harm. Copying someone’s thoughts, ideas or inventions is completely unacceptable. It infringes on intellectual property rights of others.
    Still, many things we do are about copying others one way or another. So if you want to compliment someone on the work they have done and imitate it, just make sure you do it the right way to avoid committing plagiarism.
Why is the saying "copy from two, it’s research" a lesson to learn?
选项 A、It facilitates the creation of one’s own writing style.
B、It helps to protect one’s intellectual property rights.
C、It fosters correct interpretation of professional writing.
D、It enables one to write intriguing sequels to famous stories.
答案A
解析 由题干中的copy from two，it’s research定位到第七段第二、三句。事实细节题。第七段第二句指出，避免抄袭的第一条经验就是：“复制一个人的作品，是剽窃；复制两个人的作品，那是研究。”随后进一步说明，对这句话的正确解释是，写作不在于复制，而在于创造出你自己的风格，选项A)的意思与此一致，故为本题答案。根据第六段，有助于保护知识产权的是研究识别个人写作模式并确定作者的新方法，故排除B)；C)是根据第七段开头的writing和professional设置的干扰，但该项与对文章的理解无关，故排除；第七段最后一句提到了给故事写续集，但原文是介绍研究专业人十写作，创造出自己风格的一种方法，而不是其结果，故排除D)。
