Since the September 11 attack, US President George W. Bush has (21) himself as a superpower leader of hard resolve, tolerating no (22) to his goals-until he came up against Israel. (23) the past week he has faced a dramatic (24) to his international authority from the Jewish state. Israel is the chief US ally in the Middle East and (25) of the largest chunk of US foreign aid. Stung by (26) Israeli defiance, Bush on Monday urged Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon publicly, (27) the third time, to withdraw his forces "without delay" (28) Palestinian areas. A bloody offensive has been (29) there for 11 days. He sent envoy Anthony Zinni to deliver the message personally as Secretary of State Colin Powell (30) a new US initiative to 0chieve an Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire.

If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work force skills, American firms have a problem. Human resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered as an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired—rented at the lowest possible cost—much as one buys raw materials or equipment. The lack of importance attached to human resource management can be seen in the corporation hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human resource managements is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human resource management is central—usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm’s hierarchy. While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skill of their employees than the Japanese or German firms do. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies. As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United Stated. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can’t effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear. According to the article, which of the following statement is true

A. The author believes that a company should focus on training workers in the filed of the specific skills necessary to do the next job.
B. It will not cost as much to retrain workers as the expenditure saved during the years when no training has ever been conducted.
C. In the field of traditional industry where few technical breakthroughs arrive, American firms may stay competitive.
D. American corporation hierarchy prevents the workers from being trained basically.
