memory This devision of the memory into phases is based on the length of time of the memory
Sensory memory is instantaneous memory It is an image or memory that enters your mind only for a short
period of time; it comes and goes in under a second The memory will not last longer than that unless the
information enters the short-term memory
Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are actively
using it If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short-term memory as long as you
keeprepeating it Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long term memory

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
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
38 With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?
A An overview of telecommuting B The failure of telecommuting
C The advantages of telecommuting D A definition of telecommuting
39 How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?
A More than predicted in Business Week B More than 8 million
C Fewer than last year D Fewer than estimated in USA Today
40 The phrase “of no consequence” means………
A of no use B irrelevant C of no good D unimportant
41 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
42 The word “them” in the second paragraph refers to………
A telecommuters B systems C.executives D responsibilities
43 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
C feel that a work area in their home is away from the office
D are ignorant of telecommuting
44 The word “reluctant” in the third paragraph can best be replaced by
A opposite B willing C hesitant D typical

Trang 55
B The man opened the window in order to get some fresh air in the room
C The man got some fresh air in the room, even though he opened the window
D Having opened the window, the room could get some fresh air
