短文讲述了可怕的地震发生三天后，作者收到一封邮件，为了表示民族团结，请在晚上7点停一分钟。周四，走出家门或办公场所，为和平点燃一支蜡烛。这次活动让我意识到我们应该鼓励人们为他人服务。如果我们团结起来，我们就能克服所有的困难。

【3】句意：我被这个想法打动了。

for支持，为了，因为；in在……里，在……以后，在……状态中；with和在一起，用；at在（表示存在或出现的地点、场所、位置、空间），以（某种价格、速度等）。观察句子，这里应该表伴随，with具有附有，带有之意，故选C。

so所以；but但是；and和；or或者。前面提到是简单的，后面又说是有意义的，那么应该是表转折，故选B。

【9】句意：这次活动让我意识到我们应该鼓励人们为他人服务。

prevent防止；remain保持，留下；suppose料想，假设；encourage激励，鼓舞。根据“In the end, we raised a lot of money for the earthquake survivors最后，我们为地震幸存者(幸存者)筹集了很多钱。”那么这次活动应该是鼓励我们，故选D。
