　　On Power Failure
　　Recently， every morning when I wake up， I find my air-conditioner automatically turned off . I didn't understand why at first ， but soon I learned that there was a great shortage of electricity supply in our city – my air-conditioner turned off because of a power failure midnight.
　　With the rapidly developing industry and the ever-increasing population， demand for electricity supply is soaring. Besides， summers in recent years are much hotter than before ， so most working places and households are air-conditioned ， which consumes additional electricity.
　　Face with such a hard nut ， we have to find ways to crack it . Above all ， in western areas China ， there is surplus of electricity supply. So ， cities that are thirsty for electricity may ask for remote help. Then ，when we have electricity ， we should remember to save it . Set your air-conditioners at 27C and you won't feel less comfortable than when they are at 26C . In fact ， some factories already shift their working hours to avoid the peak time of electricity consuming. My parents don’t work from Monday to Friday as before – they work form Saturday to Wednesday and have the following two days off instead. This is also a way out， isn't it?
