What do you think the passage is about? 2a Read the passage and answer the questions. 1.What are the two events in the passage? 2.When did they happen? Reading the Title and First Sentences The title can be helpful for you to understand a text. It is also a good idea to read the first sentence of each paragraph before you read the whole text. 2b 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 the window and realized that it was true. I was so scared that I could hardly think clearly after that.” 1.What are the two events in the passage? 2. When did they happen? The first event happened on April 4, 1968, and the second one happened on September 11, 2001. Dr. Martin Luther King was killed; The World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists. On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King was killed. 这一天， 马丁 • 路德 • 金 博士遇害了。 马丁 • 路德 • 金 (Martin Luther King, Jr., 1929-1968) 是世界上知名的美国民权运动领袖。 was killed 的意思是“ 被杀害 ”，表被动关系。 Language points 2. …most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists. 绝大多数美国人都记得纽约世贸中心被恐怖分子摧毁时他们在做什么。 1 ）纽约世贸中心（ World Trade Center ）简称 “世贸中心”，是美国纽约的地标之一。 2001 年 9 月 11 日，世贸中心被恐怖分子用所劫持的民航班机撞击摧毁，这就是举世震惊的“ 911 事件”。 2 ） take down 意为“摧毁” 。 3. She remembers working in her office near the two towers. 她当时记得自己正在距两座塔楼不远的办公室工作。 1 ） towers 指世贸中心的双子塔。 2 ） remember (someone) doing sth 是固定搭配。 表示 “记得某人做过某事” , 其中 remember 可表示“记得；回忆起；想起”等意思。如： I don’t remember seeing him anywhere. 我不记得在什么地方见过他。 Read the passage again. Are the following statements true (T) or false (F), or is the information not given (NG)? ____ 1. Everyone in America remembers who killed Dr. King. ____2. Robert Allen was eating lunch when Dr. King was killed. ____3. Roberts parents were shocked to hear the news. F T T 2c ____ 4. Kate Smith was watching a movie when a plane hit the World Trade Center. ____ 5. Kate didn’t think her friend was telling the truth about the event. NG F 1. Not everyone will remember who killed him, but they can remember what they were doing when they heard that he got killed. Underline sentences from the passage with similar meanings to the ones below. 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. 2d 2. No one said anything for the rest of dinner. 3. September 11, 2001— the date alone means something to most people in the US. My parents did not talk after that, and we finished the rest of our dinner in silence. Even the date — September 11, 2001 — has meaning to most Americans. I was so scared that I could hardly think clearly after that. 4. I had trouble thinking clearly after that because I was very afraid. A: When did Dr. Martin Luther King die? B: He died on ...
