The third reading is for you to check your writing. Now the passage will begin.

Almost every activity in life requires communication. When you make a speech at school, 11 your food at a restaurant, or tell a joke, you are communicating. Learning to speak and express your thoughts 12 is the basic requirement of good communication. But there is 13 to speaking – one that’s often neglected. That’s “listening”. If you don’t listen, how will you know what to say when your workmate needs help or your friend is upset? So, try to remember that good communicators listen twice 14 as they speak. Maybe that’s why God gave us two ears and just one 15.

Task 1

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

It’s 8:30, time for John to start work. So he turns on his radio. Then he eats breakfast. As he eats, he reads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list. Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article he needs to write. Wait a minute! Radio? Breakfast? Sofa? What kind of work-place is this ? Well, actually it is John’s house, and he is a telecommuter—he works at home, communicating with the workplace through the Internet.

Like John, millions of people—and their employers—are finding that telecommuting is a great way t work. Telecommuters can follow their own schedules. They work in the comfort of their homes, where they can also look after young children or elderly parents. They save time and money by not traveling to work. Their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture. Studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often. This saves employers even more money. Telecommuting helps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems.

Jobs that are suited to telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting. If a job involves working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.

36. From the passage we know that John does his job _____.

by telephone B. in his office C. away from home D. through the Internet

37. Which of the following is mentioned as one of the advantages of telecommuting?

One can get along well with co-workers. B. One can work on one’s own schedule.

C. One can work for several employers. D. One can enjoy a lot of traveling.

38. The passage tells us that telecommuters change jobs less often and so _______.

they can get more work experience B. they will have a longer paid holiday.

C. their employers can save more money. D. their employers will give them a higher pay.

39. The phrase “suited to”(Line 1. Para.3) means ________.

acceptable for B. difficult for C. fit for D. bad for

40. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. a new way to work B. John’s working day

C. various workplaces D. the Internet

Memo

To: All Employees

From: H. E. Larking, President

Date: May 22, 2004

Subject: our New Computer System

During the coming year more and more employees will be asked to participate in the network of our new computer system. This system is not centered on the use of the computer as a cost reduction tool, but it is used as a management tool. The new system will be used to handle much larger amounts of information. With the system, we’ll have more time for the planning and thinking—the basic factors in making our business grow. This growth, in turn, will create new opportunities for some of you to become managers.
