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.
Over the years, the United Nations has had some successes in its role of world peacemaker. It has
negotiated 172 peaceful settlements and helped to end two wars. It has also helped to show the spread of
nuclear weapons by inspecting nuclear facilities in 90 countries.
As a peacekeeper, the UN has also had a number of successes. Since 1945, UN peacekeeping forces
have been involved in 56 missions. They have supervised ceasefires and the withdrawal of troops, and
they have monitored elections. Over the years, roughly 130 nations have participated in the peacekeeping

missions. In 1988, the UN peacekeeping forces received the Nobel Peace Prize. Unfortunately, member
nations have been unwilling to give UN peacekeeping forces the independence and financial support they
need to be even more effective.
In evaluating the success of the UN, it is important to keep in mind that the organization has many


functions in addition to preventing or ending wars. The United Nations is really a “family” of related
organizations, which are working to provide a better life for people everywhere. One part of the UN
family is UNICEF, an organization that provides food, medical care, and many other services to poor
children wherever they live. Thanks to the efforts of UNICEF, the immunization rate of children in
developing countries has jumped from 5 percent in 1974 to more than 80 percent today. Another part of
the UN family is the World Health organization (WHO), which develops medical programs for people all
over the world. In 1980, WHO announce that, after 13 years of work, it had succeeded in ridding the
world of the disease smallpox.
