By signing agreement , the depositor agrees to abide by the rules and regulations of the bank. These rules and

32、regulations vary with different banks and may be altered and amended from time to time. At this time, a passbook may be given to the depositor. This is a small book in which the bank teller enters the date and amount of each deposit or withdrawal and initials the entry . The passbook is to be presen

33、ted at the bank or mailed to the bank along with a de-posit or withdrawal slip each time money is deposited or withdrawn from the account . An alter-native practice for depositing or withdrawing money from a savings account is to give the deposi-tor a small register for recording deposits and withdr

34、awals and a pad of deposit - withdrawal forms. This procedure eliminates the use of the passbook. Each time a deposit or withdrawal from savings is made, the appropriate part of one of the forms is filled in, signed, recorded in the register and presented or mailed to the bank with deposit items or

35、other documents. The bank gives a machine - printed receipt to the depositor or returns it by mail . There should be a separate savings account in the ledger to record these activities. Traditionally, the principal differences between a savings account and a checking account are that interest is pai

36、d regularly by the bank on a savings account and withdrawals from a sav-ings account may be made at the bank or by mail by the depositor or an authorized agent. De-positors use checking accounts primarily as a convenient means of making payments, while sav-ings accounts are used primarily as a means

37、 of accumulating funds with interest . An increasing-ly common practice is for the bank to combine savings and checking accounts and get deposi-tors permission to make automatic transfers of funds from the savings portion to the checking portion whenever the latter falls below a specified minimum ba

38、lance . This amounts to giving the depositor an interest - earning checking account.（分数：5.00）(1).What is the primary purpose of a savings account? （分数：1.00）A.For interestB.For transfer of fundsC.For accumulating funds with interestD.For making profits(2).What is the aim of a small register and a pad

40、 the banks facilitiesC.To open an account in the bankD.To protect the depositors interest(4).What does a depositor do with a passbook? （分数：1.00）A.He makes deposits with a bankB.He withdraws money from a savings accountC.He withdraws money from a checking accountD.Both A and B(5).For what purpose doe

41、s a bank try to combine a savings account and a checking account? （分数：1.00）A.For holding more fundsB.For covering the checking account falling below the specified minimum balanceC.For automatic transfer of fundsD.Both B and CPassage Two Document against acceptance ( D/A) is exactly like document aga

42、inst payment ( D/P) except that, instead of signing the sight draft and paying on presentation of documents to re-ceive the bill (s) of lading, the importer accepts the usance (time) draft that creates an obli-gation similar to a promissory note called a trade acceptance. This can be used for financ

43、e pur-poses under some conditions. This is a promise to pay in a certain number of days, after ac-cepting the documents, usually for a term of between 30 and 180 days. D/A terms are more secure than open account because the transaction and receipt of goods are evidenced by a nego-tiable instrument.

44、It is much easier to enforce a financial instrument than an account receiv-able, which must be proven to the courts. However, a sharp increase in risk over D/A oc-curs because the importer now has the goods, and the exporter only has a promise to pay. The bank has no responsibility to collect the fu

45、nds on or after the due date. Both your bank and the foreign bank are purely agents for transmittion and collection. It is very important not to confuse a bankers acceptance, which carries the credit of a bank, with a trade acceptance mentioned here. The latter is no better than the credit and integ

46、rity of the buyer as opposed to the bank.（分数：5.00）(1).If D/A terms are used to settle international transaction, then _. （分数：1.00）A.the seller must pay on presentation of documents.B.A sight draft is usually usedC.The importer can get the bill (s) of lading only after he accepts the time draftD.A pr

49、sible for the payment in the event of the dishonor of the bills.(4).The most important difference between a bankers acceptance and a trade acceptance is that _ . （分数：1.00）A.the acceptances are made by different agentsB.credits are given by different agentsC.the bankers acceptance is inferior to a trade acceptanceD.the bankers acceptance depends on the banks credit , while the later depends on the credit of the buyer(5).The word “conduits“ in the passage means _ . （分数：1.00）A.The banks assume no responsibility if the buyers fa
