We are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go away, we take<br /> our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along). And, we are more stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail,<br /> voice mail, cell phones, and the Internet is destroying any idea of privacy and leisure.<br /> Since the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new labor-saving devices would free them from<br /> the burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially –<br /> Page 1/4<br /> <br /> Mã đề 103<br /> <br /> exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and family, and even just<br /> ‘goofing off’.<br /> But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times in<br /> human history, and nothing could be further from the truth. The very tools that were supposed to liberate us<br /> have bound us to our work and study in ways that were inconceivable just a few years ago. It would seem<br /> that technology almost never does what we expect.<br /> In ‘the old days’, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer. People left their offices at<br /> a predictable time, were often completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs as they traveled<br /> to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home. That is no longer true. In today’s highly<br /> competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in longer hours<br /> and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communications devices. As a<br /> result, employees feel the need to check in on what is going on at the office, even on days off. They feel<br /> pressured to work after hours just to catch up on everything they have to do. Workers work harder and<br /> longer, change their work tasks more frequently, and have more and more reasons to worry about job<br /> security.<br /> Bosses, colleagues, family members, lovers, and friends expect instant responses to voice mail and e-mail<br /> messages. Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which faculty,<br /> friends, and other members of the college community increasingly do their work online. Studies of time<br /> spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering use.<br /> This is not what technology was supposed to be doing for us. New technologies, from genetic research to<br /> the Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities. But, when new tools make life more difficult and<br /> stressful rather than easier and more meaningful – and we are, as a society, barely conscious of it – then<br /> something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology and our understanding of how<br /> it should benefit us.<br /> From “Summit 1” by Joan Saslow & Allen Ascher<br /> Question 11: According to the first three paragraphs, technological tools that were designed to make our<br /> lives easier______.<br /> A. have turned out to do us more harm than good<br /> B. have brought us complete happiness<br /> C. have fully met our expectations<br /> D. have not interfered with our privacy<br /> Question 12: Which of the following is NOT true about technological tools, according to new surveys?<br /> A.
