听力原文： U. N. Secretary General Kofi Annan has lashed out at critics of the world body's role in the Iraq oil-for- food program, describing some of the charges as outrageous and exaggerated. Mr. Annan categorically rejected allegations that his son may have been involved in any illegal activities.

Asked Wednesday about the effect of the oil-for-food scandal on the world body's reputation, the secretary general rose immediately to the defense of his son.

Speaking at a news conference, Mr. Annan said there is nothing to the accusations that his son somehow benefited illegally from oil-for-food contracts. "He joined the company even before I became secretary general, as a 22-year old, as a trainee in Geneva and then he was assigned to work for them in West Africa, mainly in Nigeria and Ghana," he said. "Neither he nor I had anything to do with co0tracts for Cotecna. That was done in strict accordance with U. N. rules and financial regulations."

What's Kofi Annan's attitude towards the criticism of U. N. 's role in the Iraq oil-for-food program？

A．Angry.

B．Apologetic.

C．Surprised.

Some European leaders also gave the American military buildup in the Persian Gulf credit for forcing Saddam to work with U. N. weapons inspectors. However, U. N.

听力原文： Sierra Leonean rebels and a progovernment militia have agreed to stop fighting i

n a bid to protect the country's shaky cease-fire and set a timetable for disarmament. The agreement comes on the first day of renewed peace talks between all sides in the 10-year civil war. Before the talks, the rebels of the Revolutionary United Front had complained of recent attacks on rebel positions by the pro-government Kamajor militia. A U. N. official called the latest agreement a major step in the search for lasting peace in Sierra Leone. The talks follow a meeting in Nigeria earlier this month where the government and the rebels renewed a pledge to abide by last November's cease-fire that allowed 12,000 U. N. peacekeepers to deploy throughout the country. A 1999 peace accord collapsed last year after the rebels took hundreds of U. N. peacekeepers hostage. The rebels have funded much of their war effort through illicit diamond trading, and are notorious for killing and maiming thousands of civilians during the conflict.

The agreement comes on the first day of renewed peace talks between all sides in the _________ civil war.

ay, its position had been vindicated that only the U.N. Security Council can handle the issue -- an implicit rejection of U. S. statements that it has the right to disarm Iraq alone if necessary. "We all agree the elimination of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction is absolutely imperative but only the Security Council can handle the means," French President Jacque Chirac sald. "There is no reason today to change the strategy," he added. That suggests significant wrangling (口角；争论) lies ahead if the United States and Britain hope to get a second resolution from the U. N. Security Council authorizing war. British Prime Minister Tony Blair wants the resolution because of strong domestic opposition to war.

French President Jacque Chirac does NOT insist on______.
