36、作，在家中依然没有自由。故A项正确。15Who is the passage mainly intended for?AJob hunters.BOffice workers.CResearchers. DTelecommuters.B文章多次提到“telecommuting”“working from home”等，由此可知，本文是为办公室职员写的。故选B。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Some experts feel that the automobile is to“die”They see a day in the nottoodistant future when
