Task 2 It’s 8:30 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-to 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 workplace 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 to 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.

6. From the passage we know that John does his job__________?A) by telephoneB) in his officeC) away from homeD) through the Internet

7. Which of the following is mentioned as one of the advantages of telecommuting? A) One can get along well with co-workers.B) One can work on one’s own schedules.C) One can work for several employers.D) One can enjoy a lot of traveling.

8. The passage tells us that telecommuters change jobs less often and so __________.A) they can get more work experienceB) they will have a longer paid holidayC) their employers can save more moneyD) their employers will give them a higher pay

9. The phrase “suited to” (Line 1, Para. 3) means __________.A) acceptable for B) difficult forC) fit for D) bad for

10. The passage is mainly about __________.A) a new way to workB) John’s working dayC) various working placesD) The Internet

Task 17 Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service. The government does help pay for some medical care for people who are on low incomes and for old people, but most people buy insurance( 保险 )to help pay for medical care. The problems of those who cannot afford insurance are an important political subject. In Britain, when people are ill, they usually go to a family doctor first. However, people in America sometimes go straight to an expert without seeing their family doctor first. Children are usually taken to a doctor who is an expert in the treatment( 治疗 )of children. In Britain, if a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, their family doctor will usually recommend a specialist. Doctors do not go to people’s homes when they are ill. People always make appointments to see the doctor in the doctor’s office. In a serious situation, people call for an ambulance( 救护车 ). In America, hospitals must treat all seriously ill patients, even if they do not have medical insurance. The government will then help pay for some of the cost of the medical care.

81. Some medical care is paid by the U.S. government for ______.A) people living in the countryB) non-government officialsC) people with insurance D) the poor and the old 82.
