[单项选择]Wal-Mart Stores, the world’s largest retailer, reported a 10 percent increase in third quarter profit on Thursday as it renewed its focus on low prices to attract financially squeezed shoppers around the world.
But the retailer trimmed its profit outlook for the fiscal year as it faced a troubled global economy and the renewed strength of the dollar. Nevertheless, Wal-Mart has been one of the few bright spots in retailing. "Wal-Mart is regaining market share across the board," said Richard D. Hastings, a consumer strategist with Global Hunter Securities. Analysts say Wal-Mart is drawing customers away from moderate-price chains like Kohl’s. But the retailer said shoppers were cautious about buying electronics, suggesting that they were watching their spending.
Wal-Mart said Thursday that profit rose to $3.14 billion, or 80 cents a share, in the quarter that ended Oct. 31. That compared with $2.86 billion or 70 cents a share, a year earlier. Earnings from continuing operations

[单项选择]It’s perhaps the world’s most famous underwater attraction, immortalized in film and in legend: the Titanic. But now experts say the ocean liner, once a wonder of the high seas, is falling to pieces.
Capt. Alfred McLaren, the scientist who in July led the most recent expedition to the ship’s underwater grave, said his team saw clear signs of the wreck’s accelerating decay. There was damage likely caused by rust and sea life, and the captain’s cabin had collapsed.

Worse still, the fallen mast that crushed the ship’s deck is believed by many to be the result of an unapproved salvage operation. "It was almost depressing to see how quickly she was deteriorating," McLaren says. "I would be really surprised if there’s very much standing up from the bottom, two decades from now."

A. To help finance the preservation of the Titanic.
