place we are talking about:

I remember my twentieth birthday. It was the day when the tsunami happened. 
Do you remember the place where we caught the train?

Texto para a questão 03 
Can you be too old to donate blood? 
In general, you can never be too old to donate blood. Though you can be too young or 
too thin. 
The American Association of Blood Banks used to bar people over 65 from donating 
blood, but it scrapped the rule in 1978 after studies found that older people _____ stored their 
own blood prior to surgery did well, said Dr. Steven Kleinman, the association’s senior 
medical adviser. Now most blood banks are happy to accept blood from older volunteers.

passengers are.
