People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history. In the United States, for example, many people remember what they were doing on April 4, 1968. This was one of the most important events in modern American history. On this day, Dr Martin Luther King was killed in the city of Memphis in America. Although some people may not remember who murdered him, they remember what they were doing when they heard about the event.hear—heardmodern 现代的;现代化的kill 杀死;致死Memphis 孟菲斯(美国田纳西州西南部一城市)murder 谋杀;凶杀hear about 听说 Even the most everyday activities can seem important. Robert Allen is now over 40. He was just a school student at that time, but he remembers what he was doing when he heard the news. “It was a bright, sunny day.” Robert remembers. “We were having fun in the playground when the bell rang. Our teacher asked us to stop what we were doing and listen. He told us the news: “Dr Martin Luther King died just 10 minutes ago! We couldn’t believe it!” School closed for the day, and Robert and his friends walked home together in silence.bright 明亮的;发亮的playground 运动场;操场bell 钟;铃;门铃ring—rang tell—told close 关闭silence 寂静;沉默 in silence 静静地Dr Martin Luther King’s Murder took place about thirty years ago, before many Americans were born. However, in more recent times, most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was destroyed by terrorists. Even the date – September 11, 2001 – has meaning to most Americans. take place 发生recent 最近的;近来的 World Trade Center 世界贸易中心destroy 破坏;毁坏terrorist 恐怖分子meaning 意思;含义 have meaning to 对…有意义 Not all events in history are as terrible as this, of course. Many Americans also say they remember what they were doing when man first walked on the moon on July 20, 1969. In more recent history, most Chinese remember what they were doing when Yang Liwei became the first Chinese Astronaut in space. Yang went into space on October 15, 2003. His flight around the Earth lasted about 22 hours. When he returned, he became a national hero in China, and became famous all over the world.as…as 像…(一样)become—became flight 航班;班机earth 地球hero 英雄not all 并非所有的Section 3 After You Read3a Match the events with the correct dates.1.
