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 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 for 
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, 
with 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 suggest that they are in the minority. In a government-funded survey in 2001, only 5.5 
3 
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 Australian, 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 r ... n D. down – up

to each of the questions. 
THINK BEFORE YOU TOSS 
Countries around the world have growing mountains of trash because people are throwing out 
more trash than ever before. How did we become a throwaway society? 
10 
First of all, it is now easier to replace an item than to spend time and money to repair it. Thanks to 
modern manufacturing and technology, companies are able to produce items quickly and 
inexpensively. Products are plentiful and prices are low, so we would rather buy something new 
than repair it. Even if we did want to repair something, many items are almost impossible to repair. 
These products contain many tiny, complicated parts. Some even contain small computer chips. 
It’s easier to throw these items away and buy new ones than to fix them. 
Another contributing factor is our love of disposable products. As busy people, we are always 
looking for ways to save time and make our lives easier. Why should we use cloth kitchen towels? 
It’s easier to use paper towel once and toss it out. Companies manufacture thousands of different 
kinds of disposable items: paper plates, plastic cups, cameras, and razons for shaving, to name a 
few. The problem is that disposable products also contribute to our trash problem. 
Our appetite for new products also contributes to the problem. We are addicted to buying new 
things. As consumers, we want the latest clothes, the best TVs, and cellphones with the newest 
features. Companies tell us to buy, buy and buy. Advertisements persuade us that newer is better. 
The result is that we throw away useful possessions to make room for new ones.

 A. convenient B. inexpensive

 A. We throw the old items to make room for the new ones. 
 B. We have more money than ever before. 
 C. We want to own as many things as possible. 
 D. We are made to believe that the new is the better.
