Barton for 2 years. At the time, she was only 11 years old. Barton began teaching school at the age
of 15. She taught for 18 years before she moved to Washington, D. C. in 1854.
The civil war broke out 6 years later. Immediately, Barton started war service by helping the
soldiers with their needs. At the battle of Bull Run, Clara Barton received permission from the
government to take care of the sick and hurt. Barton did this with great empathy and kindness.

She acknowledged each soldier as a person. Her endurance and courage on the battlefield were
admired by many. When the war ended in 1865, she used 4 years of her life to assist the
government in searching for soldiers who were missing during the war.
The search for missing soldiers and years of hard work made her feeble physically. In 1869, her
doctors recommended a trip to Europe for a rest. While she was on vacation, she became involved
with the International Red Cross, an organization set up by the Geneva Convention in 1864. Clara
Barton realized that the Red Cross would be a big help to the United States. After she returned to
the United States, she worked very hard to create an American Red Cross. She talked to
government leaders and let American people know about the Red Cross. In 1881, the Notional
Society of the Red Cross was finally established with its headquarters in Washington, D. C. Clara
Barton managed its activities for 23 years. Barton never let her age stop her from helping people.
At the age of 79, she helped flood victims in Galveston, Texas. Barton finally resigned from the Red
Cross in 1904. She was 92 years old and had truly earned her title "The Angel of the Battlefield".

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.
A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many
households, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people
ages between 18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework,
while the women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not
affected by whether the woman was working or not.
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labour, women with jobs felt that
housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not
work outside the home were satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work - if
their husbands did remainder. Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these
percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.

After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week,
but for men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labour becomes unbalanced, as a
man's share increases much less than the woman's. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the
actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes
housework as thankless and unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning,
shopping, doing laundry, washing up and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel
overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties. In contrast, full-time
homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up. Distress for
this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage.
