IV- Read the text and choose the best sentence (A to I) to fill in each gap (p)

Everybody has heard about the Internet, but do you know that an “intranet” is? __ B __. In fact, intranets make use of the same softwave programs as the Internet to contact computers and people. _________. If your intranet is working properly, it can link together a huge amount of information which is stored in different places in the company. _________. A company intranet can, of course, be used for unimportant information like office memos and canteen menus. _________. The intranet is a great idea, but the system only works if everyone on the intranet is willing to share their information with other people. _________. Another problem which often occurs is that top managers like to use the intranet to “communicate down” rather than to “communicate across”. __________


Unfortunately, many departments don’t want to share their specialist knowledge with others
It is this: just as the Internet connects people around the world, intranets connect people within a single company
The more information it has, the more people will use it
In this way, people can get the information they need, regardless of where it comes from
Most employees prefer to communicate by telephone or in writing
But an intranet should provide inportant information which people need to make decisions about new products, costs and so on
This means that you do not have to buy a lot of additional programs to set up an intranet service
That is, they use the intranet to give orders, not to exchange information
