Unit 3　Section Warming Up Reading—Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解A Cody Hartley, 11, has tirelessly raised money to get a very important piece of first aid (急救)equipment put in at her primary school, secondary school and karate (a Japanese fighting sport) club. She has spent eight months so far trying to raise the money needed. The money Cody has been collecting is for defibrillators (除纤颤器)—a kind of medical machine that gives the heart an electric shock to make it start beating again after a heart attack. “I went on a first-aid course with my karate club. I learned how to use a defibrillator and how important they are for saving lives，” Cody told MailOnline. A couple of weeks later she was reading in the local paper about a 12-year-old boy who had a heart attack during his swimming lesson, “Although he received good first aid, there was no defibrillator and he didnt make it，” she says. “I couldnt stop thinking about that.” Then Cody started to do some research about them online and realized how important they are. “Theyre not just for old people who have heart attacks—there are also hundreds of children out there who die from heart conditions，” she says. She wanted to get one for her primary school, so she did a 20-mile sponsored (为慈善目的发起的) walk with her dad. She did other sponsored events, raised money at car boot sales (汽车后备箱集市) on a Sunday morning and got five of her friends to help her pack bags at a supermarket. She adds, “In all Ive raised over ￡2,000. I want to keep going and Ill not stop until all the schools in York-shire get defibrillators.” 【文章大意】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了十一岁女孩为给学校安装除纤颤器而筹款的故事。 1．Cody began collecting money for defibrillators ________.
