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.

解析：A。根据题干中的copy from two, it’s research可定位到原文第七段第二句。该段第三句提到，这句话的正确解释并不是让我们去抄袭，而是要创造自己的风格。A项与此内容相符，其中的the creation of one’s own writing style是对第七段第三句中creating your own style的同义替换，故A项为正确答案。

错项排除：B项利用原文第八段结尾的intellectual property rights设置干扰，但原文中并没有将题干中引用的话与知识产权联系起来，故排除B项。C项利用第七段中的correct interpretation设置干扰，但这里说的是对这句话的正确解释，并没有提到对专业写作的正确理解，故排除C项。D项利用第七段结尾的write a pretty cool sequel设置干扰，但这里是在讨论如何研究他人的写作风格，与题干无关，故排除D项。
