辨析:A.“promote peace and development of UN”(促进联合国的和平与发展)与原文“promote
peace and development in communities around the globe”(在全球社区促进和平与发展)不
符:B.“affect UN immediately”(立即影响联合国)与“create a ripple effect that extends

经验)原文未要求,仅需“two years of relevant work experience”(两年相关工作经验);C.

them to sustain a secure standard of living in their duty stations”,可知津贴帮助志愿者维持稳
