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

A An overview of telecommuting B A definition of telecommuting.

C The failure of telecommuting D The advantages of telecommuting.

Question 38: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting EXCEPT

A The work place is in the home B the opportunities for advancement.

C the lack of interaction with a group D the different system of supervision.

Question 39: The word “executives” in paragraph 2 refers to .

Question 40: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to .

A telecommuters B responsibilities C executives D systems

Question 41: The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees

A are ignorant of telecommuting.

B need regular interaction with their families.

C feel that a work area in their home is away from the office.

D are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office.

A the manager B a reporter C a statistician D a telecommuter

in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins England wanted to keep money out of America as a means

of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy

products from other countries The result during this pre-Revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies
