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 41 to 45.
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employee’s 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 the 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 raising annually , the trend doesn’t appear to be as
significant as predicted when Business Week published “ The Portable Executive” as its cover story 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 the large work force
scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least , system or managing them are not yet
developed , thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
It is also true that the employees who are the option of the 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 to advancement if they are not more visible in
the office setting . Some people fell that even when a space in their home is set aside as a work are , they
never really get away from the office.
Question 41: With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?

than the rest of the Sun’s surface . Particularly large fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with
the sightings of the large sunspot groups. In 1980, for example, Solar Max’s instruments, registered a 0.3
percent drop in the solar energy reaching the Earth. At the same time a sunspot group covered about 0.6
percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth’s surface.
Long- term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine . Although Solar Max’s
data have indicated a slow and steady decline in the Sun’s output, some scientists have thought that the
satellite’s aging detectors might have become less sensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop
in the solar constant . This possibility was dismissed , however , by comparison Solar Max’s
observations with data from a similar instrument operating on NASA’s Nimbus 7 weather satellite since
1978.
