章节摘录

　　（1） Do you know the old Arab story about a bird called the phoenixl? First itburned to death. Then it came back to life. That doesn't sound believable, does it Butthere is an example of the phoenix in our own time: The United Nations. In 1945, itbrought the dream ofworld peace back to life again after World War II.　　（2） Since the day ofits birth, the United Nations has been the subject of muchdebate2. Some people attack the organization because they think it is too powerful.Others think that it is too weak. We can better understand this debate ifwe learn moreabout the U.N. and its history.　　（3） The U. N. was started for two reasons. First, when the idea was born, people allover the world were tired of war. They were tired not just of World War II, but of waritse if. They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the world' s problems: They felt that only an international orgaruzation could keep world peace. 　　……
