Telecommuting-substituting the computer for the trip to the job-has been hailed as a
solution to all kinds of problems related to office work. For workers, it promises freedom

from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with child-care conflicts. For
management, telecommuting helps keep high performers on board, minimizes tardiness
and absenteeism by eliminating commutes, allows periods of solitude for high-
concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility. In some areas, such as Southern
California and Seattle, Washington, local governments are encouraging companies to
start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour congestion and improve air

quality, but these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work
requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting
realities and popular images.
Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter. A computer
programmer from New York City moves to the tranquil Adirondack Mountains and stays

in contact with her office via computer. A manager comes into his Office three days a
week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to care for child; she
hooks up her telephone modem connections and does office work between calls to the
doctor.
These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality. Telecommuting

workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a
young child at the same time. Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize,
much less respect, the necessary boundaries between work and family. Additional child
support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done.
Management, too, must separate the myth from the reality. Although the media has paid
a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employee’s situation,

not the availability of technology, that precipitates a telecommuting arrangement.
That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the number of companies with
workat-home programs or policy guidelines remains small.
Question 36: What is the main subject of the passage?
A. Business management policies
B. Commuting to work

C. Extending the workplace by means of telecommuting
D. Telecommuting for child-care purposes
Question 37: According to the passage, what is the most important tool for a
telecommuter to work at home?
A. telephone B. a camera C. a smart phone D. a computer
Question 38: The word “hailed” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to

A. welcomed B. communicated C. considered D. arranged
Question 39: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem for office
employees?
A. Being restricted to the office B. Incurring expenses for lunches and clothing
C. Taking care of sick children D. Driving in heavy traffic
Question 40: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem for employers that

is potentially solved by telecommuting?
A. Employees’ lateness for work
B. Employees’ absence from work
C. Employees’ need for time to work intensively alone
D. Employees’ conflicts with second jobs
Question 41: Which of the following does the author mention as a possible disadvantage

of telecommuting?
A. Small children cannot understand the boundaries of work and play.
B. Computer technology is not advanced enough to accommodate the needs of every
situation.
C. Electrical malfunctions can destroy a project.

D. The worker often does not have all the needed resources at home.
Question 42: Which of the following is an example of telecommuting as described in the
passage?

A. A scientist in a laboratory developing plans for a space station
B. A technical writer sending via computer documents created at home
C. A computer technician repairing an office computer network
D. A teacher directing computer-assisted learning in a private school.
Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each for the questions.
Millions of people tune into the weather forecast each evening on televisions. Most of
them imagine that the presenter does little more than arrive at the studio a few minutes
before the broadcast, read the weather, and then go home.
In fact, this imagine is far from the truth. The two-minute bulletin which we all rely on
when we need to know tomorrow’s weather is the result of a hard day’s work by the
presenter, who is actually a highly-qualified meteorologist.

Every morning after arriving at the TV studios, the first task of the days is to collect the
latest data from the national Meteorological Office. This office provides up-to-the-minute
information about weather conditions throughout the day, both in Britain and around the
world. The information is very detailed and includes predictions, satellite and radar
pictures, as well as more technical data. After gathering all the relevant material from this
office, the forecaster has to translate the scientific terminology and maps into images and
word which viewers can easily understand.

The final broadcast is then carefully planned. It is prepared in the same way as other
programmes. The presenter decides what to say and in what order to say it. Next, a “story
board” is drawn up which lay out the script word for word. What make a weather forecast
more complicated than other programmes are the maps and electronic images which are
required. The computer has to be programmed so that the pictures appear in the correct
order during the bulletin.

The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter. This is because the weather report is
screened after the news, which can vary in length. The weather forecaster doesn’t always
know how much time is available, which means that he/ she has to be thoroughly
prepared so that the material can be adapted to the time available.
Another related complication is that the weather forecast has to be a live broadcast; it
cannot be pre- recorded. Live shows are very nerve- racking for the presenter because

almost anything can go wrong. Perhaps the most worrying aspect for every weather
forecaster is getting the following day’s predictions wrong. Unfortunately for them this is
not an unusual occurrence; the weather is not always possible to predict accurately.
The weather is a national obsession in Britain, Perhaps because it is so changeable. It’s
the national talking point, and most people watch at least one daily bulletin. It can be
mortifying for a weather man or woman who has predicted rain for the morning to wake
up to brilliant sunshine. These days, a weather forecaster’s job is even more complicated

because they are replied upon to predict other environmental conditions. For example, in
the summer the weather forecast has to include the pollen count for hay fever sufferers.
Some also include reports on ultraviolet radiation intensity to help people avoid sunburn.
The job of the weather forecaster is certainly far more complicated than just pointing at a
map and describing weather conditions. It’s a job for professionals who can cope with
stressful and demanding conditions.

Question 43: What perception do most people have a weather forecasters?
A. They have many qualifications. B. They do a hard day’s work at the studio.
C. They always tell the truth. D. They work very short hours.
Question 44: Meteorologists get their forecasting information from

A. The TV studio B. The country’ s main weather centre
C. Satellite and radar information D. Their office
Question 45: The phrase up- to- the- minute in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. Very brief B. Very short C. (the) most recent D. Fashionable
Question 46: The computer has to be carefully programmed
A.So that the visual are sequenced correctly

B.So that the script is visible to the presenter
C.Because the script has to be written on a story board
D.Because electric maps are used
Question 47: Weather forecasters have to know the material well because
A.The length of the report may have to change
B.The forecast may be incorporated into the news broadcast

C.The content of the report may have to change
D.The broadcast is pre-recorded
Question 48: What does this in paragraph 6 refer to?
A. The weather forecaster’s worry
B. Reading the weather ‘live’
C. Giving a forecast that doesn’t come true
D. An accurate prediction

Question 49: The word mortifying in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to
A.embarrassing B. enjoyable C. deceitful D. frightening
Question 50: Nowadays, weather forecasters have
to A. do experiments to determine the pollen
count.
B.simply point at maps and describe weather conditions.

C.cope with professionals.
D.be able to cope under pressure.
