Although we try to read your gas meter every month, there are times when we simply cannot. We may not be able to access it if there is no one at your home to let us in. Weather conditions sometimes make it unsafe for meter readers to do their job. And meters do occasionally malfunction, making an accurate reading impossible.
When your meter is not actually read, you will receive an estimated bill. The estimate is based on weather trends and how much energy you have used in the past. When we are unable to get an actual meter reading, you will see the word "estimated" printed next to the meter reading on your bill.
Estimates can be avoided if you send us a reading that you have taken yourself. Here are two ways to help prevent an estimated bill.
Call us with your meter reading at 1-800-555-1991. The best time to call is one day before your scheduled meter-reading day. (Your meter-reading date appears on page one of your Newtown Gas Company bill.)
Go to our Web site at www.newtowngasco.com/meter to send us your meter reading.
Send your reading at least one day before your scheduled meter-reading day.
If you use either of these two methods to provide us with your reading, you will see the words "customer reading" next to the reading on your bill. If your meter readings have been estimated for four straight months, you must call us with your meter reading.

Please mail your payment to Newtown Natural Gas Company, P.O. Box 388, Vancouver, Canada. Your next meter reading is scheduled for June 18. [br] What did Mr. Khan do in May?
选项 A、He made an appointment for an actual reading.
B、He provided Newtown Gas with his meter reading.
C、He stayed at home on the scheduled meter-reading day.
D、He paid a bill based on an actual reading.
答案 B
解析 账单中有customer reading May 19。customer reading是“客户自行抄表”，所以(B)最恰当。provide+人+with～意思是“提供…给某人”。(A)make an appointment指“约定时间”。(C)抄表员在抄表日发现没人在家，所以这项答案不正确。(D)pay a bill是“付款”。账单是在4月30日付的，不符合题目要求，所以该项不正确。
