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

　　W: You know I've often wondered why people laugh at the picture of a big belly businessman slipping on a banana skin and falling on his bottom. We are to feel sorry for them。

　　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 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 may get like that, so we laugh。wｗw.ExamＷ.CoM

　　M: 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 much, because you can guess what's going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must because of the sort of the thing we'd all love to do once in a while and never quiet 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。
