問題詳情：

Kim Jones planned a birthday party for her boyfriend Sam Phillips last Thursday night after work. However, the evening turned out differently than either of them had expected. In the late afternoon a huge electricity blackout hit seven northeastern states and three provinces in Canada. Just after four o’clock, a time when millions of people leave their offices and head home, the electricity stopped, so elevators and the subway systems in large cities like New York and Toronto didn’t work. Flights could not land or take off at major airports. As soon as most people found out about the blackout, they put their cell phones to good use and called their families to let them know where they were.

Kim works on the 70th floor of a business center in New York. She had just left her office and was trapped in an elevator on the 65th floor. At first she was worried. She called Sam and discovered what had happened. He told her not to give up hope. Then Sam remembered that his friend Joe also worked high in that building. Joe could take care of the situation. About five o’clock, Joe and some other workers figured out that they could get Kim out of the elevator through its roof.

Kim still ended up having to walk down to the street at eight o’clock, she found Sam waiting for her. A number of their friends were there too. As for the birthday party, it turned into a picnic by candlelight because the city went without electricity for several days. Sam said he’d never forget it.
