Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose job 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 predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more 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 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 really get away from the office. 61. 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. 62. How many Americans are involved in telecommuting ? A. More than predicted in Business Week. B. More than 8 million. C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today. D. Fewer than last year. 63. The phrase “of no consequence” in the first paragragh means A. of no use B. of no good C. unimportant D. irrelevant 64. The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT A. the opportunities for advancement. B. the different system of supervision. C. the lack of interaction with a group. D. The work place is in the home. 65. The word “ executives “ in the second paragragh refers to A. telecommuters B. managers C. employees D. most people 66. The word “ them” in the second paragragh refers to A. systems B. telecommuters C. executives D. responsibilities 67. The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees A. need regular interaction with their families. B. are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office.

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, their population is estimated to be down to zero. What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet. Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed. 71. What is the main topic of the passage? A. Endangered species B. Problems with industrialization C. The Bengal tiger D. International boycotts 72. The word “poachers” could be best replaced by which of the following? A. Concerned scientists B.

Killing animals for personal satisfaction D. The decrease in the Bengal tiger population 76. Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction? A. “Since the world ….down to zero” B. “What is alarming… personal gratification” C. “Countries around ….for support” D. “This money … endangered species” 77.
