Câu 58: You should have persuaded him to change his mind. Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ 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 appoximately 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?
A. It was essential to persuade him to change his mind but you didn't . B. You didn't persuade him to change because of his mind. C. You should persuade him to change his mind. D. You persuaded him to change his mind but he didn't listen. 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. Câu 59: When the unemployment rate is high, the crime rate is usually also high.
A. The unemployment rate is as high as the crime rate. B. The high rate of unemployment depends on the high rate of crime. C. The unemployment rate and the crime rate are both higher. D. The higher the unemployment rate is, the higher the crime rate is.
Câu 60: “You're always making terrible mistakes”, said the teacher. It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often 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. Câu 66: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT_______ . B. the different system of supervision A. the lack of interaction with a group C. the fact that the work space is in the home D. the oportunities for advancement
Câu 67: How many American workers are involved in telecommuting? A. The teacher realized that his students always made terrible mistakes. B.

Câu 70: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is primarily a result of mankind's burning of fuels, is thought to act like the glass of a greenhouse. It absorbs heat radiation from the earth and its atmosphere, heats that otherwise would dissipate into space. The possibility that the greenhouse effect could alter the earth's temperature has been debated for many years. Scientists have agreed that carbon dioxide is increasing but there has been uncertainty about whether temperatures are also increasing. The major difficulty in accepting the greenhouse effect has been the absence of observed warming coincident with the historic carbon dioxide increase. Câu 61: What does the scientific community think about the greenhouse effect? A. The failure of telecommuting C. A definition of telecommuting B. The advantages of telecommuting D. An overview of telecommuting
IX. Choose the word or phrase (A, B, C or D) that best fits the blank space in the following passage.
