Jimmy was not breathing, and his heart was not beating . He was dead. At the beach paramedics（医务辅助人员）worked on Jimmy for an hour . He began to breathe , and his heart began to beat . The paramedics rushed Jimmy to the hospital.Doctors at the hospital put Jimmy in bed .They put him on a cold mattress （床垫）because they wanted his body to warm up slowly. They gave him some medicine because they wanted him to sleep .After six weeks in the hospital he got better ,Then he went to another hospital.

Jimmy was in the water for more than 20 minutes . He couldn’t breathe in the water . He couldn’t get any oxygen（氧气）.But today he is alive and healthy. How is it possible?
