The Storm Brought People Closer Together Ben could hear strong winds outside his home in Alabama.Black clouds were making the sky very dark.With no light outside,it felt like midnight.The news on TV reported that a heavy rainstorm was in the area. Everyone in the neighborhood was busy.Ben's dad was putting pieces of wood over the windows while his mom was making sure the flashlights and radio were working.She also put some candles and matches on the table. Ben was helping his mom make dinner when the rain began to beat heavily against the windows.After dinner,they tried to play a card game,but it was hard to have fun with a serious storm happening outside. Ben could not sleep at first.He finally fell asleep when the wind was dying down at round 3:00 a.m.When he woke up,the sun was rising.He went outside with his family and found the neighborhood in a mess.Fallen trees,broken windows and rubbish were everywhere.They joined the neighbors to help clean up the neighborhood together.Although the storm broke many things apart,it ought families and neighbors closer together. 暴风雨让人们之间的关系更近了 在阿拉巴马州,本听到屋外狂风大作。乌云把天空变得黑压压的。外面没有光亮,感觉就像半夜一样。电视新闻报道,这个地区有一场猛烈的暴风雨。 小区的每个人都在忙碌着。本的爸爸正在把几块木头固定在窗户上,同时他妈妈在确认手电筒和收音机都能正常使用。她还把一些蜡烛和火柴放到桌子上。 当雨开始重重地敲打窗户的时候,本正在帮妈妈做晚饭。晚饭后.他们试图玩纸牌游戏,可是外面猛烈的暴风雨让他们很难玩得开心。 开始的时候本无法人睡。在大约凌晨三点狂风逐渐减弱的时候,他总算睡着了。当他醒来的时候,太阳正在升起。他和家人一起到外面,发现小区一片狼藉。倒下的树、破碎的窗玻璃和垃圾遍地都是。他们和邻居们一起帮忙清扫小区。虽然暴风雨把很多东西破坏得支离破碎,可是它却把每个家庭和邻居们的关系拉得更近了。
Do You Remember What You Were Doing People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history.In America, for example,many people remember what they were doing on April 4,1968.This was an important event in American history.On this day,Dr.Martin Luther King was killed.Although some people may not remember who killed him,they remember what they were doing when they heard the news. Robert Allen is now over 50,but he was a school pupil at that time."I was at home with my parents,"Robert remembers."We were eating dinner in the kitchen when we heard the news on the radio.The news reporter said,‘Dr.King died just 10 minutes ago’.My parents were completely shocked! My parents did not talk after that,and we finished the rest of our dinner in silence." More recently,most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists.Even the date — September 11,2001 — has meaning to most Americans. This was a day Kate Smith will never forget.She remembers working in her office near the two towers."My friend shouted that a plane just hit the World Trade Center! I didn't believe him at first,but then I looked out of the window and realized that it was true.I was so scared that I could hardly think clearly after that." 你记得你在做什么吗 人们通常记得当他们听到历史上重大事件的新闻时他们在做什么。比如,在美国,许多人记得1968年4月1日他们正在做的事情。这是美国历史上一个重要的事件。在这一天,马丁.路德.金博士被杀害了。尽管一些人可能并不记得是谁杀害了他,但是他们记得当他们听到这个消息时他们正在做什么. 罗伯特.艾伦现在50多岁了,但他当时是一名小学生。“我和父母一起在家里,”罗伯特回忆说,“我们正在厨房里吃晚餐,这时我们从收音机里听到了这个消息。新闻记者说‘金博士十分钟前刚去世了’。我的父母完全震惊了!之后我的父母没有说话,我们就在沉默中吃完了剩下的晚餐。” 更近一点,绝大多数美国人都记得纽约世贸大楼被恐怖分子摧毁时他们在做什么。甚至这个日期—2001年9月11日一对大多数美国人来说都是有意义的。 这是凯特.史密斯永远忘不了的一天。她记得当时(自己)正在距两座塔楼不远的办公室工作。“我的朋友大喊说一架飞机刚刚撞击了世贸大楼!,起初我并不相信他的话,可后来我往窗外看的时候,我意识到这是真的。我如此害怕以至于那之后我几乎都神志不清了。”
