D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）:
Have you ever heard about teleworking? It means working from a distance, in other words, not working in an office but working at home. You use the computer and the Internet to keep in touch with your boss, but instead of being tired of an office worker, you can work in your own comfortable room.
The idea sounds nice, doesn’t it? You can do your research on the World Wide Web, and send in all your work by e-mail. Well, that’s exactly what my boss said to me two years ago. ―Jenny, how would you like to work at home?‖ He said.
At first everything was great. My job was to edit articles for a university, and I spent most of my time sitting in front of a monitor and typing busily at the keyboard. It was really good being at home, too. I didn’t have to waste any time travelling, and I could stop and make myself a cup of coffee or a sandwich if I wanted –I was quite free and happy. But then things started to change. I put on weight, because I wasn’t going out as much as I had before. I stopped wearing smart dresses because a jogging suit (运动服) and trainers were so much more comfortable. My friends stopped telephoning because I didn’t meet them on the bus or in the cafeteria.
