UN extends African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia. South African Ambassador Dumisani Kumalo says he voted for the resolution, but adds he was not enthusiastic about it. Kumalo said he had expected the Security Council to make a firm decision about sending U.N. peacekeeping troops to Somalia to supplement the African Union mission.
   "The African Union, it’s like, when your house is on fire, the neighbors come with the buckets of water, but the neighbors are not the fire engine," he said. "The fire engine is the United Nations. So we want to see the United Nations getting involved on the ground in Somalia because that issue belongs to the United Nations. It cannot be left only to the African Union."
   The African Union has sent 8,000 troops to a peacekeeping mission. But, six months in, fewer than one-quarter of them have arrived. There are currently 1,700 African Union troops, all from Uganda.
1. What did Kumalo expect the Security Council to do?
2. What do we learn about the African Union?
选项 A、Ask residents to participate in the operation.
B、Send more troops to help the African Union.
C、Withdraw the military forces in Africa soon.
D、Provide more fire engines for Africa.
答案 B
解析 新闻指出，Kumalo表示他希望联合国安全理事会能坚定决心，派遣联合国维和部队去索马里以协助非洲联盟完成使命(sending U．N．peacekeeping troops．．．to supplement the African Union)。故答案是B。A“要求市民参与这个行动”和C“撤离在非洲的军事力量”均没有在新闻中提到。D利用fire engine制造干扰，Kumalo是将联合国比作救命的消防车，而不是要求“联合国提供更多的消防车”。
