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.

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: You should stay mentally active, because the decline of our brainpower will shorten our lives, too. So read the newspaper, visit the public library, balance your checkbook without using a calculator, do crossword puzzles and so on.

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.

M: I am doing something, I'm watching TV.
W: You're always watching some stupid sitcom. It's a waste 0ftim~, and a waste of brain power.
M: Sometimes it's nice just to kick back, relax and laugh a little. There is nothing wrong with a little comedy in one's life. In fact, that's why I'm here
W: Ha. ha! Very funny!
M: Besides, I am watching something serious.

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.
