Read this passage carefully and then choose the best answer A, B, C or D to questions below. Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't telecommuting become so popular? Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult or at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities. It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never nearly get away from the office. 76. With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned? A. The advantages of telecommuting. B. A definition of telecommuting. C. An overview of telecommuting. D. The failure of telecommuting. 77. How many American workers are involved in telecommuting? A. More than predicted in Business Week. B. More than 8 million. C. Fewer than last year. D. Fewer than estimated in USA Today. 78. The word “resistance” in the passage could best be replaced by A. alteration B. participation C. opposition D. consideration 79. The word t “telecommuter” in the passage refers to: A. a person who works in an office and communicate with the boss by computer. B. a person who uses computer to communicate with the boss but they are at home. C. a person who sits at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports. D. a person who commutes to a far place to work. 80. It can be referred from the passage that the author is: A. a telecommuter B. the manager of a group of telecommuters C. a statistician D. a reporter 6 Khởi tạo từ chương trình Trắc nghiệm trên máy vi tính.
