THE SUFFRAGETTES
England has had a democracy for a long time. Until 1918, however, women were not allowed (106)_______ in it. The right to vote is called ‘suffrage’ and the English women who fought (107)_______ and won that right were called “suffragettes”.
The suffragette movement was led by Emmiline Pankhurst. In 1903, she (108)_______ an organization called the Women’s Social and Politica Union (WSPU). Members of the WSPU went to the Prime Minister to (109)_______ suffrage, but he told them to “be patient”. The suffragettes were not (110)_______. They wanted change immediately.
The fight for the vote for women became (111)_______ and sometimes violent. In 1908, two suffragettes (112)_______ themselves to the fence outside the Prime Minister's front door! They were arrested and spent weeks in jail. In 1912, hundreds of women (113)_______ the streets of London. They broke shop windows and even threw Stones (114)_______ the Prime Minister’s house. Thousands of suffragettes were (115)_______ for this and similar actions over the years.
World War I (1914-1918) proved to be an important (116)_______ for the women’s movement. Women contributed so much to the war effort as nurses', factory workers, and at other jobs that more people became convinced of their right to vote. Women were (117)_______ given that right in January, 1918.

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.

A. Men being the bread winners B. Traditional roles of women
