25、人们通过电话进行工作的方式)和选项D(员工彼此之间交流的方式)在文章当中没有提到，故为错误选项。选项B(职员穿着睡衣工作)虽然在文章第一段第一句话中提到过，但这只是远程工作时的一种可能的情形，说法不够全面，故应排除。第12题 Which of the following is NOT the reason why telecommuting has become popular?AIt can balance employees work and life.BIt can help save the cost for companies.CIt can reduce conflicts bet

27、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。第13题 According to John Edwards, management style in the new trend _ .Afocuses on sight managementBis opposite to employers expectationCshould get used to results managementDsaves unnecessary t

31、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。第16题 All of us communicate with one another verbally (口头的) as well as non-verbally.
