八下英语Unit 5 What were you
doing when the rainstorm came?Revision: when vs. while
这两个词都有“当…的时候”的意思。
when 既可指某一点时间, 也可以指一段时间;
while 强调一段时间, 所以从句的谓语动词常是延续性的。
当 when表示“在某一段时间里” 的意思时, 它可以代替
while, 但while不能代替when.
e.g. When I came home, she was cooking dinner.
当我到家时, 她正在做饭。
When you hang wet clothes near a fire, you will see
steam rising from them.
当你把湿衣服挂在火边时, 你会看到水汽从衣服上升起。1a Think of a time when you were late

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. 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 byterrorists. 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. 2c. Read the passage again. Are the following
