Passage Three A man and his wife had a small bar near a station. The bar often stayed open until after midnight, because people came to drink there while they were waiting for trains. At two o’clock one morning, one man was still sitting at a table in the small bar. He was asleep. The barman’s wife wanted to go to bed. She looked into the bar several times, and each time the man was still there. Then at last she went to her husband and said to him, "You’ve waken that man six times now, George, but he isn’t drinking anything. Why haven’t you sent him away It is very late." "Oh, no, I don’t want to send him away, "answered her husband with a smile: "You see, whenever I wake him up, he asks for his bill, and when I bring it to him. He pays it. Then he goes to sleep again."

Passage Three
The state of California had to turn off the electricity to almost two million homes and businesses. The state ran out of power.
No one knew when the power would be turned off. People got trapped between floors in an elevator. Firefighters had to save them. These blackouts moved around the San Francisco area. Turning off traffic lights could cause accidents.
Rolling power outages shut down sections of communities across much of northern California, an hour and a half at a time.
People found out it is hard to work without power. Computers don’t work. Locked doors don’t open from a distance.
There has been a power crisis for the past two months. The amount of power isn’t enough to keep up with demand. Debt-ridden utilities couldn’t get suppliers to sell them electricity on credit.

A. telling people to stop using power
B. loaning the utilities money to buy power
C. buying power and reselling it at low prices to the utilities
D. buying the utilities
