SHOPPING MALLS
Victor Gruen, an American architect, revolutionised shopping in the 1950s by creating the type of shopping centre that we now call a shopping mall.
Gruen’s (61) was to provide a pleasant, quiet and spacious shopping environment with large car parks, which usually (62).. building in the suburbs. He also wanted people to be able to shop in all kinds of weather. He (63). on using building designs that he knew people would feel comfortable with, but placed them in landscaped “streets” that were entirely enclosed and often covered with a curved glass roof. This was done to (64). some of the older shopping arcades of city centres, but while these housed only small speciality shops, Gruen’s shopping malls were on a much grander (65)..... .
	Access to the whole shopping mall gained by using the main doors, which (66)...... the shopping “streets” from the parking areas outside. As there was no need to (67). out bad weather, shops no longer needed windows and doors, and people could wander (68)..... from shop to shop.

Part 3. Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each question. (5pts)
 	Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ home and offices. For employees who 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 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 rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a 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 a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager responsibilities.
	It is also true that employees who are given the option of 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 for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.
71. With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?
	A. The advantages of telecommuting	B. A definition of telecommuting 
	C. An overview of telecommuting	D. The failure of telecommuting
72. How many American workers are involved in telecommuting?
	A. More than predicted in Business Week	B. More than 8 million
	C. Fewer than last year	D. Fewer than estimated in USA Today
73. The word “resistance” could best be replaced by...
	A. alteration	B. participation	C. opposition	D. consideration
74. The word “them” in the second paragraph refers to
	A. telecommuters	B. systems	C. executives	D. responsibilities
75. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is
	A. a telecommuter	B. the manager of a group of telecommuters
	C. a statistician	D. a reporter
SECTION FIVE: WRITING
