In May 2002, he was named to the additional role of interim Chairman of Genertec Inc., to assist the energy merchant in restoring investor confidence and stabilizing the company's financial position.

For all his vaunted talents, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has never had much of a reputation as an economic forecaster. In fact, he shies away from making the precise-to-the-decimal-point predictions that many other economists thrive on. Instead, he owes his success as a monetary policymaker to his ability to sniff out threats to the economy and manipulate interest rates to dampen the dangers he perceives.
Now, those instincts are being put to the test. Many Fed watchers--and some policymakers inside the central bank itself--are beginning to wonder whether Greenspan has lost his touch. Despite rising risks to the economy from a swooning stock market and soaring oil prices that could hamper growth, the Greenspan-led Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) opted to leave interest rates unchanged on Sept.24 . But in a rare dissent, two of the Fed's 12 policymakers broke ranks and voted for a cut in rates--Dallas Fed President Robert D. McTeer Jr. and central bank Governor Edward M. Gramlich.
The move by McTeer, the Fed's self-styled "Lonesome Dove", was no surprise. But Gramlich's was. This was the first time that the monetary moderate had voted against the chairman since joining the Fed's board in 1997. And it was the first public dissent by a governor since 1995.
Despite the split vote, it's too soon to count the maestro of monetary policy out. Greenspan had good reasons for not cutting interest rates now. And by acknowledging in the statement issued after the meeting that the economy does indeed face risks, Greenspan left the door wide open to a rate reduction in 'the future. Indeed, former Fed Governor Lyle Gramley thinks chances are good that the central bank might even cut rates before its next scheduled meeting on Nov. 6, the day after congressional elections.
So why didn't the traditionally risk-averse Greenspan cut rates now as insurance against the dangers dogging growth？ For one thing, he still thinks the economy is in recovery mode. Consumer demand remains buoyant and has even been turbocharged recently by a new wave of mortgage refinancing. Economists reckon that homeowners will extract some ＄100 billion in cash from their houses in the second half of this year. And despite all the corporate gloom, business spending has shown signs of picking up, though not anywhere near as strongly as the Fed would like.
Does that mean that further rate cuts are off the table？ Hardly. Watch for Greenspan to try to time any rate reductions to when they'll have the most psychological pop on business and investor confidence. That's surely no easy feat, but it's one that Greenspan has shown himself capable of more than once in the past. Don't be surprised if he surprises everyone again.
Alan Greenspan owes his reputation much to ______.
A．his successful predictions of economy
B．his timely handling of interest rates
C．his unusual economic policies
D．his unique sense of dangers

听力原文：Peter Smith had just received the phone call that would bring him to the top position. Regulators had approved his purchase of a controlling share in Direct TV’s satellite service. Our reporter Kate Harvey interviewed the News Corp. Chairman in his Los Angeles office on September 30, just hours before the official announcement.
How does it feel to finally get the deal？
I’m very happy, of course, but it would have been better if it were a few years ago, otherwise cable wouldn’t have made those investments and would have been more vulnerable.
How are you going to win customers away from cable？
To a certain extent, we’re just going to give better service — cable and satellite both have had reputations for service — and if we want to get customers, we’d better have someone on the phone in 30 seconds rather than 20 minutes. And we will be investing a lot in research and development to get the most advanced technology for our set-top boxes and to get a lot of more interactivity.
Will you be giving set-top boxes for free？
Well, Jack Lonergan, Echo Star Communications Corp. Chairman, is already giving away some of the boxes. We will be matching him. But if we are manufacturing boxes with more features than he is giving, then we will charge something. But we will be subsidizing to the extent that he does.
Do you intend to undercut cable’s prices to start a price war？
We are not going into a price war with anyone. But overall, digital satellite today is getting about $54 a month per customer, and cable is averaging about $66 at the moment. People want digital offerings, because cable is just too expensive.
What about broadband？ Cable offers it; satellite can’t.
I am inclined to think that broadband will be a commodity. I am not sure about that, but it’s certainly physically possible to get first-class broadband service by satellite.
People genuinely seem to fear you. Why is that？
Ah, "the crazy people who will change the world". This company has always been a stimulus for change — Fox News is a stimulus for change, BSKYB was. Someone told me that there Were two crazy people in the media business — Ted Turner and me — and now there is only one. And that’s not a bad thing to keep people guessing.
Still, in Britain, you forced MTV to lower its rates for your BSKYB service. Will you force US programmers to lower their rates to get carried on Direct TV？
I hope to have a good relation and compromise. But they want give us more and more channels — and charge us for them. So if they want us to carry one of their channels, they have to promise it will get an audience.
You have said you would use sports as battering ram. Will Fox TV or the Fox Sports Network bid against ESPN for Sunday Night NEL football when it comes up in 2006？
It is too early to say. I would be happy to leave things as they are. but the NFL may try to do something with cable to expand their revenues. To try to take on ESPN would be too expensive. I am not committing myself, but at current prices we are to keep what we have.
Your sons, Lachlan and James. are both in top jobs, Who will succeed you？
They will both learn and develop. And my daughter may be coming back into the company. But the board will decide. I won’t be around. I’ll probably drop dead on the job.
？You will hear an interview with Peter Smith, CEO of Direct TV.
？For questions 23-30, mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.
？You will hear the recording twice.
Mr. Smith believed that his promotion came
A．too early.
B．a bit late.
C．just in time.
