About the Brookfield Zoo:

The Brookfield Zoo is located just 14 miles west of downtown Chicago. It’s home to a variety of animal species, and its use of natural barriers and moats(壕溝) is so much more relaxing and enjoyable than watching a lion pace back and forth in a cage. The absence of bars also makes for great wildlife photo opportunities. The Brookfield Zoo also focuses on education, with detailed displays about the animals being viewed and the interactive program that lets kids get some hands-on experience to learn what it takes to run a zoo as well as face painting and crafts.

【題目】I'm often told how I have a dream job, that I work for a great company, getting to deal with the leaders in social media every day, and especially that I get to work from my home.

Usually the people who tell me that working from home is wonderful have never worked from home. They spend most of their career working from an office and hate it.

In fact, I love being able to work from home and make my own hours. I truly appreciate being able to drop what I'm doing to attend kids or go shopping, but there's a side to it we don't often talk about, the hard side. No one wants to believe people like me, working from home, have anything to complain about. Really, I'm not going to complain, but I do want to share a few things about telecommuting (遠(yuǎn)程辦公) that few home-based people want to tell you, because working from home doesn't look so wonderful.

One of the reasons I love my job is the flexibility(靈活性). I know that I can volunteer for school projects, meet friends for lunch and work out for an hour as long as I get my work done. But did you know telecommuters have to make up the time if they wish to fill their days with fun items? So while my husband and kids are watching a movie, I'm working until midnight. Besides, when you work from home, you're held to your phone and Skype (網(wǎng)絡(luò)電話) in case someone wants to talk to you during business hours. So it's not so easy to be flexible!

【1】We learn from the passage that the writer_____________.

A. can balance her work and family life well

B. is quite satisfied with her present work

C. presents some unknown facts of working from home

D. complains about the disadvantages of working from office

【2】The last paragraph mainly tells us that__________.

A. you're usually a slave to yourself

B. the writer is always busy with her work

C. the writer can always make full use of the freedom

D. you're not as flexible as you think you are

【3】The writer probably agrees that__________.

A. get work done, or you'll have no freedom

B. east or west, home working is the best

C. freedom should always come before work

D. all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

【4】Who is the passage mainly intended for?

A. Job hunters. B. Office workers.

C. Researchers. D. Telecommuters.
