W: Because they have to, legally I mean.
M: Exactly! In this case the reason is obvious, so we usually don't question it. But when the reason is not so obvious and especially when the behavior. could have negative consequences we'll more likely to feel a need to explain the causes of the behavior. Social psychologists have a term for this, for the process of explaining the causes of the behavior, it's called "causal attribution". And one theory suggests, there's a pattern in the way we go about attributing causes to people's behavior. According to this theory, there are two categories of reasons: internal factors and external factors. Again, Lisa, say you're driving down the road and all of a sudden some guy turns into the lane right in front of you, and you have to slam on your brakes to avoid an accident. How do you react？
W: I'll probably get very angry.
M: Because...
W: Well, he's not paying attention, he's a bad driver.
M: So you automatically attribute the driver's behavior. to an internal factor. He himself is to blame because he is careless.
W: So if I said it was because of heavy traffic or something, I'd be attributing his behavior. to an external factor, something beyond his control.
M: Good. Now how do we usually explain our own negative behavior？
W: We blame external factors.
M: That's right.
(23)
A．Common causes of anger.
B．Judging people's behavior.
C．Changing people's attitudes.
D．The effects of negative behavior.

M: Actually, Laura, I think we laugh because we are glad it didn't happen to us. But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves.
W: Yes, and then there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped, you know, deaf, or short-sighted, things like that. After all, it's not really funny to be like that.
M: Oh, I think that's because we're embarrassed. We don't know how to cope with the situation. Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we might get like that, so we laugh. What about the custard pie routine？
W: What do you mean "custard pie routine"？
M: You know, all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss, he picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person's face.
W: That never makes me laugh very much, because you can guess it's going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must be because it's the sort of the thing we'd all love to do once in a while and never quite have the courage to.
M: I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated. She said it relieved her feelings.
W: It must have come a bit expensive.
M: Not really. She took care never to throw her best china.

听力原文：M: Hey! Jenny, do you want to live a longer life？
W: Why？ Of course! Everyone hopes so.
M: Look, here is some advice given by experts on how to live a longer and happier life.
W: They must tell people to do exercises and keep a healthier diet.
M: Yes. They say 30 minutes of mild exercise a day will increase your life span. You can do things like walking, gardening or taking exercise classes.
W: And we should eat a balanced diet with low calories, cut back on red meat, sugar, coffee, alcohol and salt, and eat more fruit, grains and vegetables.
M: Why？ Jenny, you've read this article'？
W: Not at all. But everyone knows that.
M: Come on! I think there is some valuable advice. For example, they say you should enjoy people more, join some social clubs or groups so that you share your life's joys and sorrows.
W: That makes sense. In this way, we can have more positive attitudes towards life and stay optimistic because we feel we're not alone. What else does this article say？

M: Not necessarily. Because it also persuades young people like us to do regular checkups and prevent illness like cancer, high blood pressure which threaten our longevity.

Q: What does the man say about Chinese？
W: Hi, Leo. Why do you say English will become the world language？
M: Well, for one thing, it's so commonly used. The only language that is used by more people is Chinese.
W: Why is English spoken by so many people？
M: It's spoken in many countries of the world because of the British Empire. And now, of course, there's influence of America as well.
W: Many students find English a difficult language to learn.
M: Oh, all languages are difficult to learn. But English does have two great advantages.
W: What are they？
M: Well, first of all, it has a very international vocabulary. It has many German, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian words in it. So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English. In fact, English has words from many other languages as well.
W: Why is that？
M: Well, partly because English speakers have travelled a lot. They bring back words with them, so English really does have an international vocabulary.
W: And what's the other advantage of English？
M: It's that English grammar is really quite easy. For example, it doesn't have dozens of different endings for its nouns, adjectives and verbs, not like Latin, Russian, and German for example.
W: Why is that？
M: Well, it's quite interesting actually. It's because of the French. When the French ruled England, French was the official language and only the common people spoke English. They try to make the language as simple as possible, so they made the grammar easier.
A.It is more difficult to learn than English.
B.It is used by more people than English.
C.It will be as commonly used as English.
D.It will eventually become a world language.

听力原文： Thirty-two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed fight beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. No one even called the police. Was it lack of feeling about one's fellow man？
"Not so," say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to look for the reasons why people didn't act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help.
First he has to notice that it is an emergency. Suppose you see some smoke. Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning？ Is it "steam pipes"？ Or is it really smoke, from a fire？ It's not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won't get the help.
Tests show that in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn't. They do not feel any direct responsibility.
Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble？ Yes, scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person's trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.
(30)
A．To explain why people fail to act in emergencies.
B．To explain when people will act in emergencies.
C．To explain what people will do in emergencies.
D．To explain how people feel in emergencies.

听力原文： (32)Why do we cry？ Can you imagine life without tears？
Not only do tears keep your eyes lubricated, they also contain a substance that kills certain bacteria so they can't infect your eyes. Give up your tears, and you' 11 lose this on-the-spot defense. Nor would you want to give up the flood of extra tears you produce when you get something physical or chemical in your eyes. Tears are very good at washing this irritating stuff out.
Another thing you couldn't do without your tears is cry--from joy. anger or sadness.
(33)Humans are the only animals that produce tears in response to emotions. And most people say a good cry makes them feel better. (35)Many scientists, therefore, believe that crying somehow helps us cope with emotional situations. Tear researcher, William Frey, is trying to figure out how it happens. "One possibility", he says," is that tears discharge certain chemicals from your body, which build up during stress. When people talk about 'crying it out', I think that might actually be what they are doing."
If Frey is right, what do you think will happen to people who restrain their tears？ (34)Boys, for example, cry only about a quarter as often as girls once they reach their teenage years. And we all cry a lot less now than we did as babies. Could it possibly be that we face less stress？ Maybe we've found other ways to deal with it. Or maybe we just feel embarrassed.
(33)
A．Why people hold back their tears.
B．Why people cry.
C．How to restrain one's tears.
D．How tears are produced.
