21、I was born in Korea, and my family came over to America when I was 10. I’m the middle child of three girls, and my parents moved so we would experience a different life. They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had. We moved to Staten Island, and I went to the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. My parents were depressed when I told them I wanted to be an actress. My father suggested I try premed (医学预科). But after they saw me in plays they were really proud.
I graduated from Boston University and was doing theater in New York when I got cast in a Korean miniseries (电视连续剧). We started shooting the show in New York, and then went to Korea to finish it up. They said I would be there for three weeks, but it ended up being two months. The miniseries took off, and overnight, I became recognizable. It was sort of like Lost. It blew up. Then amazing projects were offered to me. I kept thinking, “ I’ll do one more and then go back to the US.” I ended up staying for seven years.
Some people described me as the Julia Roberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because she’s the queen of romantic comedy. I became famous in Korea for a dramatic role in a film called Shiri. I played a “La Femme Nikita” type of role. I was the girl with the gun—all action.

24、What things make you laugh? There are many things that make us burst into laughter. This natural show of emotion gives off signals that we are happy and we find something humorous. Scientists have been looking at why we do it and what the benefits are.
Laughter is a way of making a sound. When we do it, we make very strange noises — from wheezes and squeaks to gasps and snorts — and each sound simply reflects the muscles in the chest squeezing out air from our ribcages (胸 腔) under very high pressure.
Most of the time our laughter is involuntary and contagious (传染性的), particularly between friends. Neuroscientist (神经学家), Sophie Scott, told the BBC that it’s a social emotion. It’s better to laugh with people we like. She defines two types of laughter — spontaneous laughter, where we laugh instantly and uncontrollably, and conversational laughter — where we laugh together with friends. Research found, on average, people laugh seven times for every ten minutes of conversation.
The BBC World Service programme Crowd Science examined the science of laughter. It wanted to know what caused this highly contagious repetitive action. It found we use laughter to show others that we’re being playful and non-threatening, and this serves to make and maintain social bonds. Also, people outside of our social group can understand the relationship between the laughters by the sound of our laughter.
While our health is no laughing matter, research has found a good loud laugh can help our body and mind —it can make us feel good and relax our bodies. It also helps us manage pain and improve our immune system. That’s why laughter therapy (治疗) is being used as an alternative to traditional treatments. But generally, our ability to laugh is out of our control. When you start doing it, just go with the flow and others will join in.
【1】Wheezes, squeaks, gasps and snorts are mentioned to ________.
A.prove some people are humorous
B.show laughter is interesting
C.prove laughter’s benefits
D.show strange noises about laughter
【2】What may Sophie Scott agree with?
A.Laughter is weakly contagious action.
B.There are two types of laughter.
C.People laugh less with friends.
D.People laugh seven times a day.
【3】In which way is laughter good to us?
A.It helps relax our eyes.
B.It cures people of serious illness.
C.It helps control pain.
D.It worsens our immune system.
【4】In which section can you read the passage on a website?
A.Health.
B.Business.
C.Opinion.
