B: I quite like snakes, but I wouldn't want one as a pet. Um...some people are very keen on them.
W: Maybe they keep snakes to frighten others. All right, do you think people spend more money on their animals than their children？

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: 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？

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.
