3. 3.【答案】B
   【解析】 细节理解题。通知的第一句就说明了原因“Due to essential platform maintenance work”（由于必要的站台维护工作）。

4. 4.【答案】C

9. 9.【范文】
   The topic of keeping pets is a complex one. On the one hand, pets can offer wonderful companionship and help reduce stress and loneliness for their owners. Playing with a pet can be a great source of joy.
   On the other hand, keeping a pet is a big responsibility. It requires a significant investment of time for daily care, exercise, and attention. Furthermore, the cost of food, vet bills, and other supplies can be high.
   In my opinion, keeping a pet is a rewarding experience, but it should not be a decision made lightly. People should only get a pet if they are fully prepared for the long-term commitment.
