Elecommuting 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 he 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. It is also true that employees
who are given the option of telecommuting are 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.

A. The advantages of telecommuting.

Question 29. How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than predicted in Business Week.
B. More than 8 million.
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today.

D. Fewer than last year.

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 from 35 to 42.
Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only because
there was no other name for it. Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed essays that
happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subject were varied: animals, laborers, artists,
and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations that she found striking or
insightful. She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation marks, and
sometimes identified in footnotes. Of this practice, she wrote, " 'Why many quotation marks?' I am
asked ... When a thing has been so well that it could not be said better, why paraphrase it? Hence, my
writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collection of flies in amber." Close observation and
concentration on detail and the methods of her poetry.
Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Lois. After graduation from Bryn
Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania. Later she became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920’s she was editor of
The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her life, mostly in
Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals. Her
admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers-before the teammoved to Los Angeles-was widely known. Her
first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends associated with the
Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read with interest by succeeding
generations of poets and readers. In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her Collected
Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry "for money or fame. To earn a living is needful, but it
can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has a burning desire to objectify what it is

indispensable to one's happiness to express
