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

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80.
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
