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."
We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.
选项 A、employees hate distance between each other
B、there should be no distance between employers and employees
C、the disappearance of distance improves efficiency
D、telecommuting changes ways of communication
答案D
解析 解答此题可用排除法。文章第二段中爱德华所说的话提到了远程工作的好处，也就是远程工作受欢迎的原因。根据第二段中爱德华说的第一句话的后半部分可知远程工作可以减少人们上下班花费的时间，故选项D是远程工作的好处之一。根据他说的第二句话可知远程工作可以平衡员工的工作与生活，故选项A是远程工作的好处之一。根据他说的第二句话后半部分可知远程工作可以减少公司的成本，因此选项B也是远程工作的好处之一。此三项都是远程工作受欢迎的原因，不符合题目的要求，故不选。
