Unit 3　War and peace Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 99­year­old British World War Ⅱ veteran has raised more than $9 million in donations for the U．K.'s National Health Service as it battles COVID­19. Tom Moore, who rose to the rank of army captain while serving in British­ruled India and Burma, set out to walk 100 laps of his back garden in Bedfordshire, around 50 miles northwest of London, before his 100th birthday on April 30. His original fundraising target was $1,250. His family said the fundraising site JustGiving had to stop the “Captain Tom Moore's 100th Birthday Walk for the NHS ” page from crashing, as more than 90,000 people tried to access it at one point. So far, more than 347,000 people have donated to Moore's effort. Moore plans to continue fundraising, with another 100 laps in 10­lap daily increments. The money will go to NHS Charities Together, a collective that supports the medical staff, volunteers, facilities and patients of the NHS, Britain's publicly funded healthcare system. “Let's all carry on and remember that things will get better，” Moore told BBC News. “We have had problems before — we have overcome them — and we shall all overcome the same thing again.” Moore decided to use the fundraising challenge to thank NHS staff for helping him recover from a recent hip replacement and skin cancer. He was encouraged by his daughter, Hannah Ingram Moore, who said she originally thought the $1,250 target was “a_stretch”． “Life is all about purpose — we all need purpose，” Ingram Moore told the BBC.“He has had a life full of purpose, though he did fall and break his hip and became much less independent than he had been for the past 98 years.” Ingram Moore said the British public and donors have given her father a new purpose late in life: “I think he'll do this until everyone says, ‘Stop, don't do this anymore.’” [语篇解读]　这是一篇记叙文。主要叙述了一名99岁的英国二战老兵Tom Moore为英国国家医疗服务体系抗击COVID­19筹集了900多万美元的捐款。介绍了Tom Moore的个人信息以及筹款的过程。 1．Why did Moore raise money?
