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 really get away from the office 36 How many American workers are involved in telecommuting?

cast, a lump formed by squeezing a sample in a clenched fist; thread, a pencil shape formed by rolling soil between the palms; and ribbon, a flatfish shape formed by squeezing a small sample between the thumb and index finger The behavioral characteristics of the soil when molded into each of these shapes, if they can be formed at all, provides the basis for a general textural classification The behavior of the soil in the hand test is determined by the amount of clay in the sample Clay particles are highly cohesive, and when dampened, behave as a plastic Therefore the higher the clay content in a sample, the more refined and durable the shapes into which it can be molded Another method of determining soil texture involves the use of devices called sediment sieves, screens built with a specified mesh size When the soil is filtered through a group of sieves, each with a different mesh size, the particles become grouped in corresponding size categories Each category can be weighed to make a textural determination Although sieves work well for silt, sand, and larger particles, they are not appropriate for clay particles Clay is far too small to sieve accurately; therefore, in soils with a high proportion of clay, the fine particles are measured on the basis of their settling velocity when suspended in water Since clays settle so slowly, they are easily segregated from sand and silt The water can be drawn off and evaporated, leaving a residue of clay, which can be weighed 43 The author mentions “several representative handfuls” in the passage in order to show A how small soil particles are B the requirements for an adequate soil farm C the process by which soil is weighed D the range of soil samples 44 It can be inferred that the names of the three basic shapes mentioned in paragraph reflect A the results of squeezing the soil B the way the soil is extracted C the need to check more than one handful D the difficulty of forming different shapes 45 The word “dampened” in the passage is closest in meaning to A examined B stretched C moistened D damaged 46 It can be inferred from the passage that a soil sample with little or no clay in it A may not hold its shape when molded B does not have a classifiable texture C is not very heavy D does not have a durable shape 47 The word “they” in the passage refers to _ A categories B sieves C clay particles D larger particles 48 The word “fine” in the passage is closest in meaning to A various B tiny C excellent D many 49 During the procedure described in paragraph 3, when clay particles are placed into water they A dissolve quickly B separate into different sizes C take some time to sink to the bottom D stick to the sides of the water container 50 It can be inferred from the passage that the sediment sieve has an advantage over the hand test in determining soil texture because A less training is required to use the sieve B the sieve allows for a more exact measure C the sieve can measure clay D using the sieve takes less time THE END ĐÁPÁN D 11 B 21 C 31 A 41 D C 12 A 22 D 32 D 42 B A 13 C 23 B 33 A 43 D D 14 A 24 A 34 B 44 A A 15 C 25 D 35 B 45 C C 16 A 26 B 36 A 46 A B 17 A 27 C 37 C 47 C A 18 D 28 D 38 B 48 B C 19 A 29 C 39 B 49 C 10 A 20 D 30 D 40 B 50 B ... of the blanks We can communicate not only through words ( 31) through body language Body language includes our posture, facial expressions, and gestures Because body language is so important, you’ll... 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 from a distant site and transmit the... sieve can measure clay D using the sieve takes less time THE END ĐÁP ÁN D 11 B 21 C 31 A 41 D C 12 A 22 D 32 D 42 B A 13 C 23 B 33 A 43 D D 14 A 24 A 34 B 44 A A 15 C 25 D 35 B 45 C C 16 A 26
