A Travelling for hours from a town or city to work in the countryside every day B Travelling to work and then home again in a day within a rural district C Using a commutation ticket for special journeys in all seasons of the year D Regularly travelling a long distance between one’s place of work and one’s home Question 62: The word “repeated” in paragraph most probably means A buying a season ticket again B doing something once again C saying something again D happening again and again Question 63: The passage mentions that many Americans are willing to travel a long distance to work in order to be able to live in A comfortable bedrooms B quiet neighbourhoods C city centres D noisy communities Question 64: Which of the following is true according to the passage?

Trang 4/7 - Mã đề thi 359 exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and family, and even just ‘goofing off’ But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times in human history, and nothing could be further from the truth The very tools that were supposed to liberate us have bound us to our work and study in ways that were inconceivable just a few years ago It would seem that technology almost never does what we expect In ‘the old days’, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer People left their offices at a predictable time, were often completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs as they traveled to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home That is no longer true In today's highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in longer hours and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communications devices As a result, employees feel the need to check in on what is going on at the office, even on days off They feel pressured to work after hours just to catch up on everything they have to Workers work harder and longer, change their work tasks more frequently, and have more and more reasons to worry about job security Bosses, colleagues, family members, lovers, and friends expect instant responses to voice mail and e-mail messages Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which faculty, friends, and other members of the college community increasingly their work online Studies of time spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering use This is not what technology was supposed to be doing for us New technologies, from genetic research to the Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities But, when new tools make life more difficult and stressful rather than easier and more meaningful -
