(ID: 104250) Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for the questions
Telecommuting-substituting the computer for the trip to the job(27)-has been hailed as a solution
to all kinds of problems related to office work For workers, it promises freedom from the office,
less time wasted in traffic, and help with child-care conflicts(29) For management, telecommuting helps keep high performers on board, minimizes tardiness and absenteeism by eliminating commutes, allows periods of solitude for high-concentration tasks(31), and provides
scheduling flexibility In some areas, such as Southern California and Seattle, Washington, local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour congestion and improve air quality, but these benefits do not come easily Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images
Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter A computer programmer from New York City moves to the tranquil Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer A manager comes into his Office three days a week and works at home the other two An accountant stays home to care for child; she hooks up her
telephone modem connections and does office work between calls to the doctor.(32)
These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child
at the same time Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize, much less respect, the
necessary boundaries between work and family.(33) Additional child support is necessary if the
parent is to get any work done
Management, too, must separate the myth from the reality Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employee‟s situation, not the
availability of technology, that precipitates a telecommuting arrangement
That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the number of companies with work-at-home programs or policy guidelines remains small

(ID: 104262) Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for the questions
Millions of people tune into the weather forecast each evening on televisions Most of them imagine that the presenter does little more than arrive at the studio a few minutes before the
broadcast, read the weather, and then go home.(36)
In fact, this imagine is far from the truth The two-minute bulletin which we all rely on when
we need to know tomorrow‟s weather is the result of a hard day‟s work by the presenter, who is actually a highly-qualified meteorologist
Every morning after arriving at the TV studios, the first task of the days is to collect the latest
data from the national Meteorological Office(37) This office provides up-to-the-minute
information about weather conditions throughout the day, both in Britain and around the world The information is very detailed and includes predictions, satellite and radar pictures, as well as more technical data After gathering all the relevant material from this office, the forecaster has to translate the scientific terminology and maps into images and word which viewers can easily
understand.(39)
The final broadcast is then carefully planned It is prepared in the same way as other programmes The presenter decides what to say and in what order to say it Next, a “story board”
is drawn up which lay out the script word for word What make a weather forecast more complicated than other programmes are the maps and electronic images which are required The computer has to be programmed so that the pictures appear in the correct order during the
bulletin.(40)
The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter (41) This is because the weather
report is screened after the news, which can vary in length The weather forecaster doesn‟t always know how much time is available, which means that he/ she has to be thoroughly prepared so that the material can be adapted to the time available
Another related complication is that the weather forecast has to be a live broadcast; it cannot be pre- recorded Live shows are very nerve- racking for the presenter because almost anything can go wrong Perhaps the most worrying aspect for every weather forecaster is getting

Trang 6the following day‟s predictions wrong Unfortunately for them this is not an unusual occurrence;
the weather is not always possible to predict accurately
The weather is a national obsession in Britain, Perhaps because it is so changeable It‟s the
national talking point, and most people watch at least one daily bulletin.(44) It can be mortifying
for a weather man or woman who has predicted rain for the morning to wake up to brilliant sunshine
These days, a weather forecaster‟s job is even more complicated because they are replied
upon to predict other environmental conditions For example, in the summer the weather forecast has to include the pollen count for hay fever sufferers Some also include reports on ultraviolet radiation intensity to help people avoid sunburn
The job of the weather forecaster is certainly far more complicated than just pointing at a map and describing weather conditions It s a job for professionals who can cope with stressful
and demanding conditions.(45)
36 What perception do most people have a weather forecasters?
A They have many qualifications B They do a hard day‟s work at the studio
37 Meteorologists get their forecasting information from
38 The phrase up- to- the- minute in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
39 Creating a weather report is complex because
40 The computer has to be carefully programmed
A So that the visual are sequenced correctly
B So that the script is visible to the presenter
C Because the script has to be written on a story board
D Because electric maps are used
41 Weather forecasters have to know the material well because
A The length of the report may have to change
B The forecast may be incorporated into the news broadcast

Trang 7C The content of the report may have to change
D The broadcast is pre-recorded
42 What does this in paragraph 6 refer to?
43 The word mortifying in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to
44 In Britain, people‟s attitude to the weather
A Is not changeable
B Depends on the prediction being for a sunny or rainy day
C Makes it a top discussion topic
D Is a national problem
45 Nowadays, weather forecasters have to
A do experiments to determine the pollen count
B simply point at maps and describe weather conditions
C cope with professionals
D be able to cope under pressure
