The Pentagon confirms that a senior U.

The senior official, Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Affairs Richard Lawless, unveiled the proposal in talks Sunday in Seoul. Mr. Lawless made clear the 1/3 cut in the U. S. force in South Korea will include a brigade being transferred to Iraq later this year. That move involving 3,600 troops was announced last month. At the time, it was unclear whether the soldiers would return to South Korea at the conclusion of their Iraqi tour. Alex Belida, VOA news, the Pentagon.

听力原文：W: Now that we are nearing the end of our last year of school, I am very concerned about finding a job.
M: Have you checked with the employment resource center here at school？
W: Yes, there were one or two promising leads, but I'm hoping to find something a little better than those. I have a list of the most prominent accounting firms. I plan on sending my resume to each of them.
M: Tom told me that he has mailed out twenty resumes already.
W: The job market is very tight this year. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of the graduating class that will have to settle for something less than they hoped for or go to a less desirable part of the country.
M: Bob and Joe have contacted a headhunter. They hope by using those professional services they will be able to find a good position.
W: I thought of doing that myself, because their fee is too high. They would want nearly half of my first six months' salary.
M: What about that accounting firm your father's company uses？ Do you think he could give you a recommendation？
W: I hate to ask him to do that, but if my other leads don't work out, I'll ask him for help.
M: Networking the contacts you have is one of the best ways to find employment.

The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, Beautiful Inside My Head Forever, at Sotheby's in London on September 15th, 2008．All but two pieces sold, fetching more than ￡ 70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brother, filed for bankruptcy.
The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003．At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $ 65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of art Economics, a research firm-double the figure five year earlier. Since then it may have come down to $ 50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries.
In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirst's sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008．Within weeks the world's two biggest auction houses, Sotheby's and Christie's, had to pay out nearly $ 200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them.
The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionist at the end of 1989．This time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more fluctuant. But Edward Dolman, Christie's chief executive, says: "I'm pretty confident we're at the bottom. "
What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds--death, debt and divorce-still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.
In the first paragraph, Damien Hirst's sale was referred to as "a last victory" because______.
A．the art marker had witnessed a succession of victories
B．the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bids
C．Beautiful inside My Head Forever won over all masterpieces
D．it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis

Bosses now prefer to be paid in share options. The average chief executive of one of America's top 200 firms would take home just over $750,000 in gold. In fact, in 1998 he made a pre-tax profit of $8.3 m by exercising executive share options, which give the right to buy a fixed number of his company's shares at a fixed price in what is now a rising market. At the end of last year, he also had total unrealized profits on stock options of nearly $50m.
But put to one side questions of justice and inequality. Force down the thought that the chief executive's enormous share options may demoralize the deputy chief executive and make the company harder to manage. Ignore the bleating bondholder, who sees his risk rise as companies borrow to buy back shares to give to executives. The fundamental question is whether share-option schemes are doing what they were designed to do: aligning the interests of managers with those of owners, motivating bosses to do their level best by shareholders.
