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 31 by an admiring fan; a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employee finds himself 32 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 33 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 34 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 35 the deliberate use of physical mirroring.
The clever saleswoman 36 her lady customer"s movements, tilting 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(n) 37 relationship for a sale to take place.
The clever lawyer trying in a law-court to influence a judge imitates the great man"s 38 of his shoulders, the tone of his voice and the rhythm of his speech.
Of course, physical mirroring must be 39 . If you blink every time your 40 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.

Most people who travel long distances complain of jet lag. Jet lag makes business travelers less productive and more prone to make mistakes. It is actually caused by 21 of your "body clock"—a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of 22 functions. The body clock is designed for a regular rhythm of daylight and darkness, so that it is thrown out of balance when it experiences daylight and darkness at the "wrong" times in a new time zone. The 23 of jet lag often persist for days while the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone.
Now a new anti-jet-lag system that is based on proven 24 pioneering scientific research is available. Dr. Martin Moore-Ede has devised a practical strategy to adjust the body clock much sooner to the new time zone 25 controlled exposure to bright light. The time zone shift is easy to accomplish and eliminates most of the discomfort of jet lag.
A successful time zone shift depends on knowing the exact time to either 26 or avoid bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can actually make jet lag worse. The proper schedule for light exposure depends a great deal on 27 travel plans.
Data on a specific flight itinerary and the individual"s sleep 28 . are used to produce a Trip Guide with instructions on exactly when to be exposed to bright light.
When the Trip Guide 29 bright light, you should spend time outdoors if possible. If it is dark outside, or the weather is bad, or you are on an aeroplane, you can use a special light device to provide the necessary light 30 or a range of activities such as reading, watching TV or working.

Most people who travel long distances complain of jet lag. Jet lag makes business travelers less productive and more prone to make mistakes. It is actually caused by 21 of your "body clock"—a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of 22 functions. The body clock is designed for a regular rhythm of daylight and darkness, so that it is thrown out of balance when it experiences daylight and darkness at the "wrong" times in a new time zone. The 23 of jet lag often persist for days while the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone.
Now a new anti-jet-lag system that is based on proven 24 pioneering scientific research is available. Dr. Martin Moore-Ede has devised a practical strategy to adjust the body clock much sooner to the new time zone 25 controlled exposure to bright light. The time zone shift is easy to accomplish and eliminates most of the discomfort of jet lag.
A successful time zone shift depends on knowing the exact time to either 26 or avoid bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can actually make jet lag worse. The proper schedule for light exposure depends a great deal on 27 travel plans.
Data on a specific flight itinerary and the individual"s sleep 28 . are used to produce a Trip Guide with instructions on exactly when to be exposed to bright light.
When the Trip Guide 29 bright light, you should spend time outdoors if possible. If it is dark outside, or the weather is bad, or you are on an aeroplane, you can use a special light device to provide the necessary light 30 or a range of activities such as reading, watching TV or working.

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 31 by an admiring fan; a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employee finds himself 32 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 33 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 34 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 35 the deliberate use of physical mirroring.
The clever saleswoman 36 her lady customer"s movements, tilting 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(n) 37 relationship for a sale to take place.
The clever lawyer trying in a law-court to influence a judge imitates the great man"s 38 of his shoulders, the tone of his voice and the rhythm of his speech.
Of course, physical mirroring must be 39 . If you blink every time your 40 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.

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 31 by an admiring fan; a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employee finds himself 32 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 33 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 34 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 35 the deliberate use of physical mirroring.
The clever saleswoman 36 her lady customer"s movements, tilting 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(n) 37 relationship for a sale to take place.
The clever lawyer trying in a law-court to influence a judge imitates the great man"s 38 of his shoulders, the tone of his voice and the rhythm of his speech.
Of course, physical mirroring must be 39 . If you blink every time your 40 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.

We all know that a magician does not really depend on "magic" to perform his tricks, but on his ability to act at great speed. However, this does not prevent us from enjoying watching a magician 11 rabbits from a hat. Probably the greatest magician of all time was Harry Houdini who died in 1926.

Although no one really knows how he did this, there is no doubt that he had made a close study of every type of lock ever 13 .

They 14 him in chains and locked him up, but he freed himself in an instant. The police accused him of having used a tool and locked him up again. This time he wore no clothes and there were 15 round his neck, waist, wrists, and legs; but he again escaped in a few minutes. Houdini had probably hidden his "needle" in a wax-like 16 and dropped it on the floor in the 17 . He stepped on it so that it stuck to the bottom of his foot 18 he went past. His most famous escape, however, was altogether 19 . He was heavily chained up and enclosed in an empty wooden chest, the lid of which was nailed down. The chest was waned into the sea in New York harbor. In one minute Houdini 20 to the surface. When the chest was brought up, it was opened and the chains were found inside.

The 23 of jet lag often persist for days while the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone.
Now a new anti-jet-lag system that is based on proven 24 pioneering scientific research is available. Dr. Martin Moore-Ede has devised a practical strategy to adjust the body clock much sooner to the new time zone 25 controlled exposure to bright light. The time zone shift is easy to accomplish and eliminates most of the discomfort of jet lag.
