Conversation One

M：Well, you seemed to be having fun watching the movie?

W：Yeah, it was funny. I think it kept me in stitches right from the start．

M：You know，whenever l watch a comedy，I always like to know why it is that people like to laugh．I mean, why does it feel so good to laugh?

W：Yeah，I heard from my biology professor that even after centuries of scientific research，no one knows why human beings and just a few other primates laugh．

M：I read that Charles Darwin thought that laughter begins with small babies．He believed that even prehistoric parents must have interpreted baby‟s laughter．The parents enjoyed the laughter, which encouraged them to continue caring for the child．

W：Yes，apparently researchers have also found that it has a positive effect on many parents and that it produces certain hormones that actually switch Off the body‟s immune system and actually help fight off diseases．So it could be to help fight off diseases．

M：I also heard that some psychology professors found that men are more likely to make jokes than women are，and women are more likely to laugh at them than men are．

W：If only your jokes are funny，I might laugh more and fit the pattern．

M：Well，I've heard that apes also like laughing．

W：I heard that too．Chimpanzees，apes，and a few other primates laugh，but no other animals do．I‟ve seen them laugh at zoos，when tickling each other，and when playing chasing games．Their laugh sounds like rapid panting，but I've been assured it's a kind of laughing．M：Which reminds me I'd better get back to those apes I have for roommates before they eat all the chicken I left out in the kitchen

Conversation Two

M：Morning．Alice．Still having problems with your faucet?

W：No, got that fixed．But I have another headache -trying to make a decision about credit cards．Well．I need one but which one?

M：Yes，that is tricky，especially since the rates are not standard．

W：That‟s right．What people don‟t realize is that the credit associations like Visa and MasterCard don't issue credit cards or set terms and interest rates individual banks do．

M：So you will need to investigate what interest rates are charged by different issuers．

W：Yes，also how the rates are actually calculated．I think．

M：Alice，you should remember to ask them what rules you must follow to maintain these rates．If you don't pay off your bill，all new charges will begin rising immediately．

W：Yes，that‟s another problem and banks charge varying amounts fo r annual membership，late payments and exceeding your credit line．

M：You know，I read somewhere that 70％of people with credit cards pay interest on their purchases and only about 2％of the cardholders knew the interest rate they were being charged．Nearly all credit card debt carries an interest rate of 24％or less．

W：Wow，I guess I should ask a few hard questions．
