People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history. In the United States, ________, 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.

Everyday activities can seem important. Robert Allen is now over 40.

Our teacher asked us to ________ what we were doing and listen. He told us the news: “Dr Martin Luther King died just ten minutes ago! We couldn’t believe it!” School closed for the day, and Robert and his friends walked home together in silence.

Dr Martin Luther King’s murder ________ 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. The date --- September 11, 2001 --- has special ________ to most Americans.

Not all events in history are as ________ as the above, of course. Many Americans also say they remember what they were doing when man first walked on the moon on July 20, 1969.
