VI/ Read the following passage and choose among A, B, C or D 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.

A. An overview of telecommuting
B. The failure of telecommuting
C. The advantages of telecommuting
D. A definition of telecommuting
2. 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

3. The phase “of no consequence” means ____.
A. of no use
B. irrelevant
C. of no good
D. unimportant
4. The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting EXCEPT ____.
A. the opportunities for advancement
