Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng (A, hoặc B, C, D) cho mỗi câu từ : Telecommunicating is some form of computer communication between employee’s 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 from a distant site 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 that option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people fell 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. 51. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A. The advantages of telecommuting B. A definition of telecommuting C. An overview of telecommuting D. The failure of telecommuting 52. How many American workers 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 53. The word resistance could best be replaced by A. alteration B. participation C. opposition D. consideration 54. The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT A. the oportunities for advancement B. the different system of supervision C. the lack of interaction with a group D. the fact that the work space is in the home 55. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is A. a telecommuter B. the manager of a group of telecommuters C. a statistician D. a reporter V. Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng (A, hoặc B, C, D) cho mỗi câu từ : Youth’s Behaviour with Pellet Pistol “Stupid, Dangerous and Outrageous” Shooting a pellet gun at an 11-year-old boy an a bike is a “stupid, dangerous way to behave,” Judge Anthony Palmer scolded a Colwood-are teenager in Western Communities Courthouse April 29. “ I don’t know if you’ve seen too many movies or not,” he continued, “but anything involving a handgun is completely reprehensible.” The 17-year-old boy was ordered to serve a 6-month period of probation, 25 hours of community work and to apologise in person to his victim. He was also ordered not to possess weapons, ammunition or explosives for 5 year. Crown counsel Bruce Filan told the court the young cyclist was riding an Atkins Road December 22, 1991, and noticed 3 young males sitting in a car. As he passed, he said “hi” to the group and continued on his way. Then he heard a loud “ping” coming from the direction of the vehicle, turned around and saw one of the boys a gun in his direction and heard two more “pings”. Filan described the boy as “very frightened”, aiming especially when the car started up and drove towards him. Not very far from home, he raced to tell his father what had happened. The father then pursued the teenagers in his car, forcing them to stop and answer questions. According to Filan, police later determined the accused teenager was the only one with a weapon – an air pistol that still had pellets in its chamber when recovered by police at the boy’s residence. The young victim was very upset by the ordeal and is receiving counseling, Filan added. Defence Counsel Dianne McDonald said her client was not aiming the pistol at the younger boy and had no intention of harming him. Only two shots were fired, she insisted. When her client realised his actions had scared the boy, he tried to apologise but was told not to contact the victim, she added. She also explained the teenagers were not really chasing the boy in the car, but when the driver realised the boy was scared, he tried to follow to explain no one was aiming at him. McDonald reported her client has been doing well since the incident and he hopes to return to school in the fall. For now, he is enrolled in correspondence classes and is seeking employment, McDonald told the court. 56.
