Telecommunicating is a form of computer
communication between employees’ homes and
offices For employees whose jobs 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 from a distant
site and transmit the material to their employers A
recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are
approximately 8.7 million telecommuters 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
Viễn thông là một hình thức giao tiếp máy tính giữa nhà và văn phòng của các nhân viên Đối với nhân viên có công việc liên quan đến việc ngồi tại một thiết bị đầu cuối hoặc bộ xử lý văn bản nhập dữ liệu hoặc gõ báo cáo, vị trí của máy tính không quan trọng Nếu máy có thể giao tiếp qua đường dây điện thoại, khi công việc hoàn thành, nhân viên có thể kết nối đến máy tính văn phòng từ xa và truyền tài liệu cho sếp của họ Một cuộc khảo sát gần đây trên tờ Nước Mỹ ngày nay ước tính có khoảng 8,7 triệu người làm việc
từ xa Mặc dù con số đang tăng lên hàng năm, xu hướng dường như không đáng kể như dự đoán khi Tuần lễ kinh doanh xuất bản “The Portable Executive” như câu chuyện trên trang bìa của nó vài năm trước Tại sao làm việc từ xa không trở nên phổ biến hơn? Rõ ràng, sự thay đổi cần mất thời gian Nhưng ngoài ra, đã có sự kháng cự chủ động từ phía nhiều nhà quản lý Các giám đốc điều hành này cho rằng việc giám sát các nhân viên viễn thông trong một lực lượng lao động lớn rải rác khắp đất nước là quá khó khăn, hoặc ít nhất là các hệ thống quản lý họ chưa phát triển, do đó làm phức tạp trách nhiệm của người quản lý
Cũng đúng là những nhân viên được cung cấp tùy chọn làm việc từ xa thường miễn cưỡng chấp nhận
Trang 5option 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
cơ hội Hầu hết mọi người cảm thấy rằng họ cần tương tác thường xuyên với một nhóm và nhiều người lo ngại rằng họ sẽ không có cùng sự cân nhắc cho sự thăng tiến nếu họ không được nhìn nhận rõ hơn trong môi trường văn phòng Một số người cảm thấy rằng ngay
cả khi một không gian trong nhà của họ được dành làm khu vực làm việc, họ không bao giờ thực sự rời bỏ văn phòng
Question 31: What is the main idea of the passage?

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 from 36 to 42.
Unlike these fish, which are actually extinct, the
coelacanth is a type of fish that was believed to be
extinct However, an unexpected twentieth-century
rediscovery of living coelacanths has brought about a
reassessment of the status of this prehistoric sea creature
that was believed to have long since disappeared from
the Earth
From fossil remains of the coelacanth,
palaeontologists have determined that the coelacanth
was in existence around 350 million years ago, during
the Palaeozoic Era, more than 100 million years before
Không giống như những loài cá thực sự tuyệt chủng, cá vây tay là một loại cá được cho là đã tuyệt chủng Tuy nhiên, một cuộc khám phá lại những con
cá vây tay còn sống ngoài dự đoán từ thế kỷ XX đã mang lại sự đánh giá lại tình trạng của sinh vật biển thời tiền sử này, được cho là đã biến mất khỏi Trái đất từ lâu
Từ tàn tích hóa thạch của cá vây tay, các nhà cổ sinh vật học đã xác định rằng chúng tồn tại khoảng
350 triệu năm trước, trong kỷ nguyên Cổ sinh, hơn
100 triệu năm trước khi những con khủng long đầu
Trang 6the first dinosaurs arrived on Earth The most recent
fossilized coelacanths date from around 70 million years
ago, near the end of the Mesozoic and near the end of
the age of dinosaurs Because no fossilized remnants of
coelacanths from the last 70 million years have been
found, the coelacanth was believed to have died out
around the same time as the dinosaurs The prehistoric
coelacanth studied by palaeontologists had distinctive
characteristics that differentiated it from other fish It
was named for its hollow spine and was known to have
been powerful carnivores because of its many sharp
teeth and a special joint in the skull that allowed the
ferocious teeth to move in coordination with the lower
jaw It also had a pair of fins with unusual bony and
muscular development that allowed the coelacanth to
dart around the ocean floor These fins also enable the
coelacanth to search out prey trying to hide on the ocean
bottom
In 1983, a living specimen of the coelacanth was
discovered in the catch of a fishing boat off the coast of
South Africa, and since then numerous other examples
of the coelacanth have been found in the waters of the
Indian Ocean This modern version of the coelacanth is
not exactly the same as its prehistoric cousin Today’s
coelacanth is larger than its prehistoric relative,
measuring up to six feet in length and weigh up to 150
pounds However, the modern version of the coelacanth
still possesses the characteristic hollow spine and
distinctive fins with their unusual bony and muscular
structure
tiên đến Trái đất Cá vây tay hóa thạch gần đây nhất
có niên đại khoảng 70 triệu năm trước, gần cuối Đại trung sinh và gần cuối thời đại khủng long Do không tìm thấy tàn dư hóa thạch của cá vây tay từ 70 triệu năm trước, nên chúng được cho là đã chết cùng thời với khủng long Cá vây tay thời tiền sử được nghiên cứu bởi các nhà cổ sinh vật học có những đặc điểm riêng biệt giúp phân biệt nó với các loài cá khác Nó được đặt tên theo cái cột sống rỗng của nó và được biết đến là loài ăn thịt mạnh mẽ vì có nhiều răng sắc nhọn và một khớp đặc biệt trong hộp sọ cho phép những chiếc răng hung dữ di chuyển phối hợp với hàm dưới Nó cũng có một cặp vây với sự phát triển xương và cơ bắp khác thường cho phép nó phóng vòng quanh đáy đại dương Những chiếc vây này cũng cho phép cá vây tay tìm kiếm con mồi đang cố gắng ẩn nấp dưới đáy đại dương
Năm 1983, một mẫu vật sống của cá vây tay đã được phát hiện bởi một chiếc thuyền đánh cá ngoài khơi Nam Phi, và kể từ đó, rất nhiều ví dụ khác về cá vây tay đã được tìm thấy ở vùng biển Ấn Độ Dương Phiên bản hiện đại này của cá vây tay không hoàn toàn giống với người anh em tiền sử của nó Ngày nay, cá vây tay lớn hơn so với họ hàng thời tiền sử của nó, dài tới sáu feet và nặng tới 150 pounds Tuy nhiên, phiên bản hiện đại của chúng vẫn sở hữu cột sống rỗng đặc trưng và vây đặc biệt với cấu trúc xương và cơ bắp khác thường

B Dinosaurs have never appeared on the Earth.
