5. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to 
each of the questions.
For Catherine Lumby, deciding to take on the role of breadwinner in her relationship was not a difficult 
choice. When she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she had just been offered a 
demanding new role as Director of the Media and Communications department at the University of 
Sydney. But she didn't see this as an obstacle, and was prepared to use childcare when the children 
were old enough. It came, therefore, as a surprise to Lumby and her husband Derek that, after the birth 
of their son, they couldn’t actually bear the thought of putting him into childcare tor nine hours a day. 
As she was the one with the secure job, the role of primary care-giver fell to Derek, who was writing 
scripts for television. This arrangement continued for the next four years, w ith Derek working from 
home and caring for both of their sons. He returned to full-time work earlier this year.
Whilst Lumby and her husband are by no means the only Australians making such a role reversal, 
research suggests that they are in the minority. In a government-funded survey in 2001, only 5.5 
percent of couples in the 30-54 year age group saw the women working either part- or full-time while 
the men were unemployed.
The situation is likely to change, according to the CEO of Relationships Australia, Anne Hollonds. She 
suggests that this is due to several reasons, including the number of highly educated women in the 
workforce and changing social patterns and expectations. However, she warns that for couples involved 
in role-switching, there are many potential difficulties to be overcome. For men whose self-esteem is 
connected to their jobs and the income it provides to the family, a major change of thinking is required. 
It also requires women to reassess, particularly with regard to domestic or child-rearing decisions, and they may have to learn to deal with the guilt of not always being there at key times for their children. 
Being aware of these issues can make operating in non-traditional roles a lot easier.

6. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to 
each of the questions.
In 1812 a young man called James Barry finished his studies in medicine at Edinburgh University. 
After graduating he moved to London where he studied surgery at Guy’s Hospital. After that the 
popular young doctor joined the army and over the next forty years had a brilliant career as an army 
medical officer, working in many far-off countries and fighting successfully for improved conditions in 
hospitals. It was a remarkable career - made even more remarkable by the discovery upon his death 
that he was in fact a she, James Barry was a woman.
No one was more surprised at this discovery than her many friends and colleagues. It was true that 
throughout her life people had remarked upon her small size, slight build and smooth pale face. One 
officer had even objected to her appointment as a medical assistant because he could not believe that 
Barry was old enough to have graduated in medicine. But no one had ever seriously suggested that 
Barry was anything other than a man.
By all accounts Barry was a pleasant and good-humoured person with high cheekbones, reddish hair, a 
long nose and large eyes. She was well-liked by her patients and had a reputation for great speed in 
surgery - an important quality at a time when operations were performed without anaesthetic. She was 
also quick tempered. When she was working in army hospitals and prisons overseas, the terrible 
conditions often made her very angry. She fought hard against injustice and cruelty and her temper 
sometimes got her into trouble with the authority. After a long career overseas, she returned to London 
where she died in 1865. While the undertaker’s assistant was preparing her body for burial, she 
discovered that James Barry was a woman.
So why did James Barry deceive people for so long? At that time a woman could not study medicine, 
work as a doctor or join the army. Perhaps Barry had always wante to do these things and pretending to be a man was the only way to make it possible. Perhaps she was going to tell the truth 
one day, but didn’t because she was enjoying her life as a man too much. Whatever the reason, Barry's 
deception was successful. By the time it was discovered that she had been the first woman in Britain to 
qualify as a doctor, it was too late for the authorities to do anything about it.
