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 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. 
Question 31: With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?
A. The advantages of telecommuting.	B. An overview of telecommuting.
C. The failure of telecommuting.	D. A definition of telecommuting.
Question 32: How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?
A. Fewer than estimated in USA Today.	B. Fewer than last year.
C. More than predicted in Business Week.	D. More than 8 million.
Question 33: The phrase “of no consequence” in the first paragraph means_________.
A. unimportant	B. of no good	C. of no use	D. irrelevant
Question 34: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT________.
A. The work place is in the home.	B. the different system of supervision.
C. the opportunities for advancement.	D. the lack of interaction with a group.
Question 35: The word “executives “in the second paragraph refers to_________.
employees	B. most people	C. managers	D. Telecommuters

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 
Panel painting, common in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Europe, involved a painstaking, laborious process. Wooden planks were joined, covered with gesso to prepare the surface for painting, and then polished smooth with special tools. On this perfect surface, the artist would sketch a composition with chalk, refine it with inks, and then begin the deliberate process of applying thin layers of egg tempera paint (egg yolk in which pigments are suspended) with small brushes. The successive layering of these meticulously applied paints produced the final translucent colors. 
Backgrounds or gold were made by carefully applying sheets of gold leaf, and then embellishing of decorating the gold leaf by punching it with a metal rod on which a pattern had been embossed. Every step in the process was slow and deliberate. The quick-drying tempera demanded that the artist know exactly where each stroke be placed before the brush met the panel, and it required the use of fine brushes. It was, therefore, an ideal technique for emphasizing the hard linear edges and pure, fine areas of color that were so much a part of the overall aesthetic of the time. The notion that an artist could or would dash off an idea in a fit of spontaneous inspiration was completely alien to these deliberately produced works. 
Question 46: What aspect of panel paintings does the passage mainly discuss? 
A. Different styles. 	B. Famous examples. C. Production. 	D. Restoration. 
Question 47: According to the passage, what was the first step in making a panel painting? 
A. Mixing the paint. 	B. Making ink drawings. 
C. Preparing the panel. 	D. Buying the gold leaf.

A. composition 	B. artist 	C. chalk 	D. surface

A. careful 	B. decisive 	C. unusual 	D. natural
