But for a growing number of people in the United States, the work place is changing. More Americans are choosing to work at home. There are several reasons for this change. One reason is many parents want more time to be with their children at home. Another is that people want the freedom to decide for themselves how and when to do their job. The most important reason, however, is the revolution in computer technology. With computers, there is less need for people to come together to work. Computers can be linked by telephone lines with other computers far away. A worker can write a report or add information to company records on a computer at home and then send the finished work to a computer in another city. Americans are already using computers to do many different kinds of jobs at home. Many highly skilled workers, for example, ask their computers for the chance to work at least part of time at home. They say they can think more clearly and be more creative in the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of their home.Key to QuizPart I ABCBC BDBBCPart II Translation1.

The civil rights movement (in the US) the national campaign by African-Americans for equal rights, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. The campaign included boycotts (refusals to buy particular products), the actions of freedom riders, and in 1963 a march to Washington led by Martion Luther King. It succeeded in causing the introduction of bussing and affirmative action. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were also introduced as a result of the civil rights movement, which has helped to change the attitudes of many white Americans.2. The Underground RailroadA secret system used in the US before the Civil War for helping thousands of slaves to escape to the free northern states or Canada. The slaves were called “passengers”, the people who helped them were “conductors”, and the slaves hid in “stations” (safe houses) along the way.3. Slavery Slavery played a particularly important role in the history of the US.The first slaves were taken to North America from Africa by the Dutch in 1619. By the time of the American Revolution (1775) there were 500000 slaves, mostly in the South. After the Revolution the northern states made slavery illegal but the South needed cheap labor for the cotton plantations. Gradually the Souths economy became dependent on slaves and by 1860, the year before the Civil War, there were about 4 million slaves.Conflict between the North and the South increased, and it became clear that supporters and opponents of slavery could not continue to be part of the same country. In 1861 the slave states left the US and formed their own government. This was the beginning of the Civil War.After the North won the Civil War and brought the southern states back into the US, slavery was ended. But little changed for former slaves. Some moved to the North but there were not enough jobs there and many suffered prejudice from Whites. Those that stayed in the South often worked on the plantations where they had been slaved. They were paid for the work, but had to buy food and clothes. Many had to stay there trying to pay off debts which became larger each year.4. Uncle Toms Cabin A novel (1852) by the US writer Harrier Beecher Stowe which increased support for the movement to free slaves. It is about a kind slave called Tom who is badly treated and finally killed by Simon Legree. Toms daughter Little Eva also dies, and another well-known character in the novel is the slave child Topsy. The name Uncle Tom is sometimes used as an insult to describe an African-American who has too much respect for white people.5. Quaker Any member of the Society of Friends, a religious group established in England in the 1650s by George Fox. They were originally called Quaker because members were thought to “quake” or shake with religious excitement. Quakers worship Christ without any formal ceremony or fixed beliefs, and their meetings often involve silent thought or prayer. They are strongly opposed to violence and
