 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 
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to 
choose the word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 35.
In a word where 2 billion people live in homes that don’t have light bulbs, technology 
holds the key to banishing poverty. Even the simplest technologies can tranform lives and 
save money.
Vaccines, crops, computers and sources of solar energy can all reduce poverty in 
developing countries. For example, cheap oral-rehydration therapy developed in Bangladesh 
has dramatically cut the death toll from childhood diarrhoea.
But even when such technologies exist, the depressing fact is that we can’t make them 
........(18) for those who most need them. Solar panels, batteries and ligh bulbs are still 
beyond the purse of many, but where they have been installed they change lives. A decent 
light in the evening gives children more time for homework and extends the productive day 
for adults.
Kenya has a thriving solar industry and six years ago Kenyan pioneers also .......(19) 
connecting schools to the Internet via radio links. These people were fortunate started being 
able to afford solar panels, radios and old computers. How much bigger would the impact 
be if these things .......(21) and priced specifically for poor people?
Multinationals must become part of the solution, because while they own around 60 
percent of the world’s technology, they seldom make products for poor customers. Of 1,223 
new drugs marketed worldwide from 1975 to 1996, for example, just 13 were for tropical 
diseases.
People think those enterprises should do more to provide vital products such as 
medicines.............(23) different prices around the world to suit what people can afford. 
Alternatively, they could pay a percentage of their profit towards research and development 
for .........(25).

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. 
Question 36: With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned? 
A. The advantages of telecommuting. B. A definition of telecommuting. 
C. An overview of telecommuting. D. The failure of telecommuting. 
Question 37: 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. 
Question 38: The phrase “of no consequence” means . 
A. of no use B. of no good C. unimportant D. irrelevant 
Question 39: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of 
telecommuting, EXCEPT 
A. the opportunities for advancement. B. the different system of supervision. 
C. the lack of interaction with a group. D. The work place is in the home. 
Question 40: The word “executives” in line 10 refers to . 
A. telecommuters B. managers C. employees D. most people 
Question 41: The word “them” in line 11 refers to. 
A. systems B. telecommuters 
C. executives D. responsibilities 
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 42 to 50. 
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with 
care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn 
a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the 
difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to 
unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect 
of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors 
to consider. 
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want 
to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the 
 6 
classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, 
such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited 
to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what 
is important to you. Determine which job features you require, which ones you would 
prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank
them
in order of importance to you.
 The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all 
day. If not, there are diversity occupation –
building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent 
–
that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a 
concern, and employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job 
can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as 
hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country.
 If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, 
such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially 
increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.
 Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some 
industries
evoke
positive or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant 
appears glamorous, while
that
of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not 
what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight 
attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as 
highly paid as some doctors.
 Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and 
skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be 
your final one.

 The Planets of Jupiter The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 
times greater than Earth’s, contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined. 
It is thought to be a gaseous and fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat 
more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for 
nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its own right. Jupiter and the other giant 
planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed 
predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike
