18、 listened so often that I began to use one of their well-known phrases“good times”in my daily conversations. Scientists have a name for this phenomenon: behavioral mimicry. Youve probably experienced this before: after spending enough time with another person, you might start to pick up on his or he

19、r behavior or speech habits. You might even start to develop your friends habits without realizing it. There is a large body of literature concerning this sort of phenomenon, and it regularly happens for everything from body gesture to accents to drink patterns（模式）. For example, one study found that
