International organizations are formal bodies that include multiple countries coming together to address shared objectives or challenges. Some well-known international organizations include the United Nations, World Health Organization, and International Monetary Fund. International organizations are important because they provide a platform for countries to coordinate and work collaboratively to overcome challenges requiring global cooperation. Through these organizations, countries can pool resources, share knowledge, and collaborate on projects benefiting all members. International organizations also provide guidance on global policies that they then work to implement and enforce. While international organizations have succeeded in achieving many of their goals, they face challenges like funding constraints, bureaucracy, and occasional resistance from member states. However, international organizations remain crucial to the global governance system, working to promote cooperation and

Exercise 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.

1. What is the main idea of the passage?


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