READING 4. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct

The United Nations (UN), an international organization of countries, was created to promote world
peace and cooperation. The UN was founded after World War II ended in 1945. Its mission is to
1
maintain world peace, develop good relations between countries, promote cooperation in solving
the world’s problems, and encourage respect for human rights.
The UN is an organization of countries that agree to cooperate with one another. It brings together
countries that are rich and poor, large and small, and have different social and political systems.
Member nations pledge to settle their disputes peacefully, to refrain from using force or the threat
of force against other countries, and to refuse help to any country that opposes UN actions.
UN membership is open to any country willing to further the UN mission and abide by its rules.
Each country, no matter how large or small, has an equal voice and vote. Each country is also
expected to pay dues to support the UN. As of 2004 the UN had 191 members, including nearly
every country in the world.
The UN’s influence in world affairs has fluctuated over the years, but the organization gained new
prominence beginning in the 1990s. It was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. Still, the UN
faces constant challenges. It must continually secure the cooperation of its member nations because
the organization has little independent power or authority. But getting that support is not always
easy. Many nations are reluctant to defer their own authority and follow the dictates of the UN.
