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 every time your target blinks, or bite your bottom lip every time he does, your mirroring has become mockery and you can expect trouble. So, if you can’t model sympathetically, don’t play the game.

Passage Three 
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. 
　
The table before which we sit may be, as the scientist maintains, composed of dancing atoms, but it does not reveal itself to us as anything of the kind, and it is not with dancing atoms but a solid and motionless object that we live. So remote is this “real” table——and most of the other “realities” with which science deals——that it cannot be discussed in terms which have any human value, and though it may receive our purely intellectual credence it cannot be woven into the pattern of life as it is led, in contradistinction to life as we attempt to think about it. Vibrations in the ether(以太) are so totally unlike the color, purple that the gulf between them cannot be bridged, and they are, to all intents and purposes，not one but two separate things of which the second and less “real” must be the most significant for us. And just as the sensation which has led us to attribute all objective reality to a non-existent thing which we called “purple” is more important for human life than the conception of vibrations of a certain frequency; so too the belief in God; however ill founded, has been more important in the life of man than the germ theory of true the latter may be. 
We may, if we like, speak of consequence, as certain mystics love to do, of the different levels or orders of truth. We may adopt what is essentially a Platonistic (布拉图式的) trick of thought and insist upon postulating the existence of external realities which correspond to the needs and modes of human feeling and which, so we may insist, have their being in some part of the universe unreachable by science. But to do so is to make an unwarrantable assumption and to be guilty of the metaphysical fallacy of failing to distinguish between a truth of feeling and that other sort of truth which is described as “truth of correspondence” and it is better perhaps, at least for those of us who have grown up in an age of scientific thought, to steer clear of such confusions and to rest content with the admission that, though the universe with which science deals is the real universe, yet we do not and cannot have any but fleeting and imperfect contacts with it; that the most important part of our lives-our sensations, emotions, desires and aspirations-take place in a universe of illusions which science can attenuate or destroy, but which it is powerless to enrich.31. The author suggests that in order to bridge the puzzling difference between scientific truth and the world of illusion, the reader should____. 
A) try to rid himself of his world of illusion
B) accept his words as being one of illusion
C) apply the scientific method 
D) learn to acknowledge both 
32. Judging from the ideas and tone of the selection, one may reasonably
guess that the author is ____. 
A) a humanist B) a pantheist 
C) a nuclear physicist D) a doctor of medicine
33. According to this passage, a scientist would conceive of a “table” as
being ____. 
A) a solid motionless object 
B) certain characteristic vibrations in “ether” 
C) a form fixed in space and time 
D) a mass of atoms in motion 
34. The topic of this selection is____.
A) the distortion of reality by science
B) the confusion caused by emotions
C) Platonic and contemporary views of truth
D) the place of scientific truth in our lives 
35. By “objective reality” (Last line, Para. 1) the author means____.

A) scientific reality 
B) a symbolic existence 
C) the viewer’s experience
D) reality colored by emotion 
Passage Four 
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. 
　
Merchant and passenger ships are generally required to have a life preserver for every person aboard and in many cases, a certain percentage of smaller sizes for children. According to United States requirements, life preservers must be simple in design, reversible capable of being quickly adjusted to fit the uninitiated individual, and must be so designed as to support the wearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position. 
Sufficient buoyancy(浮力) to support the wearer should be retained by the life preserver after 48 hours in the water, and it should be reliable even after long period of storage. Thus it should be made of materials resistant to sunlight, gasoline, and oils, and it should be not easily set on fire.
The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is most important, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, even when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious.
The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated persons even in the dark under the confused conditions, which follow a disaster. Thus, the life preserver should be reversible that it is nearly impossible to get it on wrong. Catches, straps, and ties should be kept to a minimum. In addition, the life preserver must be adjustable to the wide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers, since this greatly affects the position of floating and the self-righting qualities. A suitable life preserver should also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water while trying to swim.
36. The passage is mainly about____.
A) the uses of life preservers 
B) the design of life preservers 
C) the materials for life preservers
D) the buoyancy of life preservers
37. According to the passage, a life preserver should be first of all ____.
A) adjustable B) comfortable 
C) self-evident D) self-righting
38. United States Coast Guard does NOT require the life preserver to be m
ade ____. 
A) with as few strings as possible 
B) capable of being worn on both sides 
C) according to each wearer’s size 
D) comfortable and light to wear
39. By “the uninitiated individual” (Para. 1, Line. 4) the author refers to the person ____.
A) who has not been instructed how to use a life preserver
B) who has a little experience in using a life preserver
C) who uses a life preserver without permission
D) who becomes nervous before a disaster
40. What would happen if a person were supported by the life preserver in
a wrong position?
A) The waves would move him backwards. 
B) The water would choke him. 
C) He would immediately sink to the bottom. 
D) He would be exhausted or unconscious.
