I'm often told how I have a dream job, that I work for a great company, getting to deal with the leaders in social media every day, and especially that I get to work from my home.
Usually the people who tell me that working from home is wonderful have never worked from home. They spend most of their career working from an office and hate it.
In fact, I love being able to work from home and make my own hours. I truly appreciate being able to drop what I'm doing to attend kids or go shopping, but there's a side to it we don't often talk about, the hard side. No one wants to believe people like me, working from home, have anything to complain about. Really, I'm not going to complain, but I do want to share a few things about telecommuting (遠程辦公) that few home-based people want to tell you, because working from home doesn't look so wonderful.
One of the reasons I love my job is the flexibility(靈活性). I know that I can volunteer for school projects, meet friends for lunch and work out for an hour as long as I get my work done. But did you know telecommuters have to make up the time if they wish to fill their days with fun items? So while my husband and kids are watching a movie, I'm working until midnight. Besides, when you work from home, you're held to your phone and Skype (網絡電話) in case someone wants to talk to you during business hours. So it's not so easy to be flexible!
1.We learn from the passage that the writer_____________.
A. can balance her work and family life well
B. is quite satisfied with her present work
C. presents some unknown facts of working from home
D. complains about the disadvantages of working from office
2.The last paragraph mainly tells us that__________.
A. you're usually a slave to yourself
B. the writer is always busy with her work
C. the writer can always make full use of the freedom
D. you're not as flexible as you think you are
3.The writer probably agrees that__________.
A. get work done, or you'll have no freedom
B. east or west, home working is the best
C. freedom should always come before work
D. all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
4.Who is the passage mainly intended for?
A. Job hunters. B. Office workers.
C. Researchers. D. Telecommuters.

Andrew Carnegie was a 19th century steel tycoon (大亨) who became one of the 20th century’s most famous philanthropists (慈善家). His life story is one of the most famous rags-to-riches accounts in United States’ history.
Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, on November 25, 1835. The son of a weaver, he came with his family to the United States in 1848 and settled in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. At age thirteen, Carnegie went to work as a bobbin (線軸) boy in a cotton factory. He then moved rapidly through a succession of jobs with Western Union and the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1865, he resigned to establish his own factory and eventually organized the Carnegie Steel Company, which started the steel industry in Pittsburgh. At age sixty-five, he sold the company to J. P. Morgan for $480 million and devoted the rest of his life to his philanthropic activities and writing, including his autobiography.
Many people of wealth have contributed to charity, but Carnegie was perhaps the first to state publicly that the rich have a moral responsibility to give away their fortunes. In 1889 he wrote The Gospel (福音) of Wealth, in which he asserted that all personal wealth beyond what was required to supply the needs of one’s family should be regarded as a trust fund to be administered for the benefit of the community.
Carnegie set about giving away his fortune through innumerable personal gifts and through the establishment of various trusts. In his thirties, Carnegie had already begun to give away some of his fast-accumulating funds. His first large gifts were made to his native town. Later he created seven philanthropic and educational organizations in the United States, including Carnegie Corporation of New York, and several more in Europe.
One of Carnegie’s lifelong interests was the establishment of free public libraries to make available to everyone as a means of self-education. There were only a few public libraries in the world, in 1881, when Carnegie began to promote his idea. He and the Corporation altogether spent over $56 million to build 2,509 libraries throughout the English-speaking world.
After this program was ended in 1917, the Corporation continued for about forty years an interest in the improvement of library services. Other major programs in the Corporation’s early history included adult education and education in the fine arts.
During his lifetime, Carnegie gave away over $350 million. He died in Lenox, Massachusetts, on August 11, 1919.

3.Carnegie established public libraries in order to ________.
