听力原文：M: Say, Lisa, what show are you watching？

W: An old Japanese film. I figure if I'm going to spend all next year there, I'd better start familiarizing myself with the culture.

M: You mean you were accepted into the program？

W: Sure.

M: That's wonderful. You must be excited.

W: Excited and nervous. You know I owe a lot to Professor Mercheno. He wrote a letter of recommendation for me and he bought me a set of practice tapes and a book that goes with them just so I can work on my basic conversation skills.

M: How much Japanese can you understand？

W: Not a lot right now. But I signed up for intensive Japanese this semester.

M: I wish I were as talented as you are in foreign languages. I'd love to study abroad.

W: Then why don't you？ The university has lots of overseas programs that don't require mastery of a foreign language. The tuition is about the same. You just have to be the kind of person who is receptive to new ways of looking at things and willing to adapt to a different kind of lifestyle.

M: I had assumed that all programs require you to know a foreign language. I might check into this.

W: You won't regret it.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

W: Yeah, and then what？

M: Then you could mention that the hardest thing at this stage is getting your kids to go to sleep at night.

听力原文：M: One of the most common questions we ask about people's behavior. is "why". Why

did she say this？" Why did he do that？ Sometimes the reason is obvious, for example, someone is driving down the street, the light turns red, they stop, why？

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.
