Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.

Role reversal has not really become popular(1). Couples who swap roles are still few and far
between. Is that because women are better at rearing children? Or are men just afraid to resist
tradition?

The isolation was the worst thing, said Andrew Timpson, who left teaching to take care of his home and
children for two and a half years(2).

The idea of swapping roles-for the father to stay at home while mum goes out to work - is still a
relatively new one. In the 70s it sounded like a great idea. Let the newly liberated women make progress
with her career while the New Man stays at home and takes care of the house and children.

Now, 10 years or so later, it seems as if we were a little premature. A recent report by the Family Policy
Studies Center concludes: "Despite important social changes, particularly greater female employment, it
is still women in families who undertake the great bulk of house-work, cooking, child-care and taking
care of elderly relatives - The much hyped New Man remains a rare species(3).’

Certainly some would argue that a man cannot replace a mother - that mum is the natural
homemaker, while dad is the provider. Some men might give help with shopping and cooking, but most
would do little more. Some men even believe that doing housework is an insult to their masculinity.
Others, like Andrew, want to stay at home-but with reservations. Andrew, who is now about to return to
work, says, "I don't know that I could have continued doing it for the rest of my life. I enjoyed it, but I do
want to support my family and I do want to work. I thought I could handle being dependent on
Maureen,

but it proved to be tough for both of us." Maureen says, "I've got a job I really love. Continuing working
has allowed me to fulfill my potential."

For many couples who swap roles, traditional attitudes are a major problem. Frank and Joan Roberts
found that they were confronted with strong views when Frank left his job to look after Michael, five,
while Joan continued with her career(4). Frank says, "It is not socially acceptable where we live. People
here are reared to believe that the man goes out to work and woman stays at home(8)."

Passage 2:

A pioneer leader for women’s rights, Susan Anthony became one of the leading women
reformers of the 19th century. In Rochester, New York, she began her first public crusade on behalf of
temperance, the habit of not drinking alcohol. The temperance movement dealt with the abuses of
women and children who suffered from alcoholic husbands. Also, she worked tirelessly against slavery
and for women’s rights. Anthony helped write the history of woman suffrage(1).

At the time Anthony lived, women did not have the right to vote. Because she voted in the 1872
election, a US official arrested Anthony. She hoped to prove that women had the legal right to vote
under the provisions of the 14 th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. At her trial, a hostile federal
judge found her guilty and fined her $100, which she refused to pay.

Cady Stanton and Amelia Bloomer. Susan worked for the American Anti-Slavery Society with Frederick
Douglas, a fugitive slave and black abolitionist.

On July 2nd 1979, the US Mint honored her by issuing the Susan Anthony dollar coin(4). Although
