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 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(會(huì)計(jì)). If a job involves working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.

A. By telephone B. Through the Internet

C. In his office D. Away from home

2.One of the advantages of telecommuting is that you can ____.

A.work for several employers

Despite the promising publishing industry in China today, many Chinese people spend little time reading. Some of them read just to kill time or prepare for the tests rather than enjoy the reading itself.

As far as I am concerned , Chinese people don’t read as much as they used to for the following reasons. For one thing, people have too much going on in their mind as China is now experiencing great changes, so it has become difficult for them to enjoy reading quietly; for another, with heavy work load, people in China only read when they need something for practical use or something relaxing to keep them away from working pressure.

Personally, reading is of great significance in life. It not only provides a source of satisfaction and pleasure, but also serves as a means to seek information and to acquire, develop and apply knowledge. Besides, people can read to enhance language proficiency and to broaden life experience as well.

I myself have improved English a lot through reading. At the beginning, I thought it difficult to read English novels but gradually, my language proficiency was enhanced before I realized it. Personally, it will make a great difference by reading.
