问题     Working at home in your nightclothes while saving hundreds of dollars may sound too good to be true, but it isn’t. More and more employees are telecommuting, doing their job at home or another remote site.
    "It’s a trend that’s here now and you’re going to see a lot more telecommuting because people don’t have to put up with commuting (来回上下班). They want more work/life balance, they want less stress in their lives and companies want to drive costs after their bottom lines," says John Edwards, President of the International Telework Association and Council.
    However, Edwards says, "The biggest problem at the moment is dealing with middle management who is uncomfortable with management style focusing on results. They are used to the line of sight management style. But they have to change to more results-oriented management style which can often be slightly opposite, so they feel uncomfortable with that."
    Edwards says telecommuting kills distance--and a lot of face to face meetings are replaced by tele-conferences. "Distance does not exist anymore. It’s the death of distance, if you like. So now it’s possible to have more invisible teams so that the necessity to have the old bricks and walls existing is beginning to disappear."
The passage is mainly concerned with ______ .
选项 A、commuting
B、telecommuting
C、teleconferences
D、management style
答案B
解析 主旨大意题。本题询问这篇文章主要是关于什么的。这篇文章主要讲了远程工作，远程工作的优点以及面临的困难，因此选项B为正确答案。选项A(来回上下班)只是在文章第二段中提到，不是全文主要讨论的问题，故为错误选项。选项C (网上会议)是远程工作进行交流的一种方式，不全面，故不选。选项D(管理方式)或称远程工作对管理方式的影响，是第三段的主要内容，不足以涵盖全文的主要内容，故不选。
