Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question 
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 workforce 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.
66. With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?
A. The advantages of telecommuting.B. A definition of telecommuting.
C. An overview of telecommuting. D. The failure of telecommuting.
67. How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than predicted in Business Week. B. More than 8 million.
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today. D. Fewer than last year.
68. The phrase “of no consequence” means ________.
A. of no use B. of no good C. unimportant D. irrelevant 
69. The author mentions all of the following as concerns of
telecommuting, EXCEPT________.
A. the opportunities for advancement. B. the different system of supervision.
C. the lack of interaction with a group. D. The work place is in the home.
70. The word “executives” in line 10 refers to ________.
A. telecommuters B. managers C. employees D. most people
71. The word “them” in line 11 refers to ________.
A. systems B. telecommuters C. executives D. responsibilities
72. The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees
________.
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.
73. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is________.
A. a telecommuter B. the manager C. a statistician D. a reporter
- statistics = figures 
- statistician (c ) nha phan tich so lieu 
# reporter: phong vien 
74. The word “reluctant” in line 13 can best be replaced by________.
A. opposite B. willing C. hesitate D. typical
75. When Business Week published “The Portable Executive”, it implied that________.
A. systems for managing telecommuters were not effective.
B. there was resistance on the part of many managers about telecommuting.
C. the trend for telecommuting was optimistic.
D. most telecommuters were satisfied with their work.
