Exercise 2. 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. 28. What is the main idea of the passage? 
 A. Men being the bread winners B. Traditional roles of women
 C. Women being the home makers D. Reversed roles between men and women
29. Catherine and her husband decided that Catherine would be the primary earner 
because ____.
 A. she had a badly paid job B. she was not good at childcare
 C. she had a reliable job D. she wanted her husband to stay at home 
30. In paragraph 1, the word “him" refers to ____.
 A. their son B. her husband C. Derek D. her colleague
31. They decided that Derek would look after their son because they ____.
 A. couldn’t afford to put their child in care for long periods each day
 B. didn’t want to put their child in care for long periods each day 
 C. thought childcare was not safe enough for their children
 D. worried about their son’s health problems 
32. In paragraph 2, the word “reversal" is closest in meaning to ____.
 A. stability B. modification C. rehearsal D. switch
33. One reason tor a change in the number of men staying home is ____.
 A. the stability in the number of highly-educated women who are working
 B. the fall in the number of highly-educated women who are working
 C. the rise in the number of highly-educated women who are working

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.
