29、emonstrate the essence of a Chinese garden. Eventually, it was decided to model a garden on 16th and 17th century scholarly retreats（隐居处）in Suzhou.The decision was made partly due to the fame of Suzhou classical gardens, but also because similarities were found between the Huntington and Suzhou gard
30、ens. Bloom said that Henry Huntington, founder of the Huntington Library, was a successful US businessman who used his fortune to collect rare books, artworks and to create gardens. “Many Suzhou gardens were also created by rich people who tried to pursue a scholarly lifestyle,” he added.To preserve

37、on with someone, when you look over and find them standing in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression? It may seem like they have consciously（有意识地）copied you, but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon（变色龙）effect at play.The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitati
38、on（模仿）of another persons gestures or behaviour. Just as a chameleon attempts to match any environments colours, people acquire the behaviour of others to bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth.The chameleon effect was confirmed in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh
39、 and Tanya Chartrand in 1999. The first part of their experiment included 78 people, who each spoke with an experimenter. During the test, Bargh and Chartrand studied whether participants would copy the actions of someone they hadnt met before, like moving the foot and touching the face. The second
40、part measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being imitated.In the first stage, participants increased their face touching by 20% and their foot movement by 50% while in conversation about a photograph with the experimenter. The individuals werent aware of what they were being stu
