Telecommuting 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 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 systems B telecommuters C executives D responsibilities Question 40: The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees
_
A needn't regular interaction with their families
B are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office
C like that a work area in their home is away from the office
D are ignorant of telecommuting

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 43 to 50.
Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only because there was no other name for it Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed essays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page Her subjects were varied: animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry From her general reading came quotations that she found striking or insightful She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation marks, and sometimes identified in footnotes Of this practice, she wrote, "Why many quotation marks?" I am asked When a thing has been so well that it could not be said better, why paraphrase it? Hence, my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collection of flies
in amber." Close observation and concentration on detail and the methods of her poetry
Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St Lois After graduation from Bryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania Later she became a librarian in New York City During the 1920’s she was editor
of The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period She lived quietly all her life, mostly
in Brooklyn, New York She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers-before the team moved to Los Angeles-was widely known
Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends associated with the Imagist movement From that time on her poetry has been read with interest
by succeeding generations of poets and readers In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for
her Collected Poems She wrote that she did not write poetry for money or fame To earn a
living is needful, but it can be done in routine ways One writes because one has
