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

C An overview of telecommuting D The failure of telecommuting

A of no use B of no good C unimportant D irrelevant

55 The word “ executives “ in line 10 refers to
A telecommuters B managers C employees D most people
56 The word “ them” in line 11 refers to

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
58 It can be inferred from the passage that the author is
A a telecommuter B the manager C a statistician D a reporter

C the trend for telecommuting was optimistic
D most telecommuters were satisfied with their work

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to
withstand its desiccating effects No moist skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not
emaciated
Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of
minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground,
emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees
