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 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
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.
26.The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters
EXCEPT_____ .
A. the lack of interaction with a group
B. the different system of supervision
C. the fact that the work space is in the home
D. the opportunities for advancement
27.How many American workers are involved in telecommuting?
A.More than 8 million
B.More than predicted in Business Week
C.Fewer than estimated in USA Today
D.Fewer than last year
28.It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _______.
A. the manager of a group of telecommuters
B. a reporter
C. a telecommuter
D. a statistician
29.The word "resistance" could best be replaced by_______.
A. participation
B. consideration C. opposition
D. alteration
