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."
According to John Edwards, management style in the new trend ______ .
选项 A、focuses on sight management
B、is opposite to employers’ expectation
C、should get used to results management
D、saves unnecessary troubles
答案C
解析 事实细节题。本题询问根据约翰·爱德华的说法，新的管理方式是什么样子的。根据文章第三段第三句话的前半部分可知管理远程工作时人们更加注重结果，所以新的管理方式应该适应注重结果的管理，选项C为正确答案。根据文章第三段第二句话可知以前的管理方式注重面对面的管理，因此这不是新的管理方式，选项A为错误选项；选项B(与雇主的期望相反)和选项D(可以省去不必要的麻烦)在文章中没有提到，故这两项都为错误选项。
