9、fficient, punctuation, hyphenated, telegraphic, brief, minimum, urgent A telegram sent to another country is often called a【 21】 When there is an【 22】message to give or a demand to make, the telegram is the quickest and most【 23】communication.

12、me period. The usual reporting period for all the statistics included in the accounts is a year. A good or bad set of figures can have an influential effect on the exchange rate and can lead policy makers to change the content of their economic policies. Deficits may lead to the government raising i

13、nterest rate or reducing public expenditure to reduce expenditure on imports. Alternatively, deficits may lead to calls for protection against foreign imports or capital controls to defend the exchange rate. A key definition that needs to be resolved at the outset is that of a domestic and foreign r

14、esident. It is important to note that citizenship and residency are not necessarily the same thing from the viewpoint of the balance of payments statistics. The term residents comprises individuals, households, firms and the public authorities. There are some problems that arise with respect to the

15、definition of a resident. Multinational corporations are by definition resident in more than one country. For the purposes of balance - of - payments reporting the subsidiaries of a multinational are treated as being a resident in the country in which they are located even if their shares are actual

16、ly owned by domestic residents. Another problem concerns the treatment of international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, United Nations and so forth. These institutions are treated as being foreign residents even though they may actually be located in the report

17、ing country. For example although the International Monetary Fund is located in Washington, contributions by the US government to the Fund are included in the US balance -of-payments statistics because they are regarded as transactions with a foreign resident. Tourists are regarded as being foreign

18、residents if they stay in the reporting country for less than a year. The criterion for a transaction to be included in the balance of payments is that it must involve a transaction between a resident of the reporting country and a resident from the rest of the world. Purchases and sales between res

19、idents from the same country are excluded. 21 What is the balance of payments? （ A） The balance of payments is a digital table of all the economic transactions between residents of the reporting country and residents of the rest of the world during a given time period. （ B） The balance of payments i

20、s a figured table of all the economic transactions between residents of the reporting country and residents of the rest of the world during a given time period. （ C） The balance of payments is a statistical record of all the economic transactions between residents of the reporting country and reside

21、nts of the rest of the world during a given time period. （ D） The balance of payments is a digital record of all the economic transactions between residents of the reporting country and residents of the rest of the world during a given time period. 22 It is important to note that _. （ A） citizenship

22、 and residency are the same thing from the viewpoint of the balance of payments statistics （ B） citizenship and residency are almost the same thing from the viewpoint of the balance of payments statistics （ C） citizenship and residency are indeed the same thing from the viewpoint of the balance of p

23、ayments statistics （ D） citizenship and residency are not necessarily the same thing from the viewpoint of the balance of payments statistics 23 Which of the following statements is tree? （ A） Deficits may lead government to reduce interest rate. （ B） Deficits may lead government to raise expenditur

27、eneficiary before presentation of the documents. The clause is incorporated at the specific request of the Applicant, and the wording is de- pendent upon his requirements. The Red Clause Documentary Credit is so called because the clause was originally written in red ink to draw attention to the uni

28、que nature of this Documentary Credit. The clause specifies the amount of the advance authorized, which, in some in- stances, may be for the full amount of the Documentary Credit. The Red Clause Documentary Credit is often used as a method of providing the seller with funds prior to shipment. Theref

29、ore, it is of value to middlemen and dealers in areas of commerce that require to a form of pre - financing and when a buyer would be willing to make special concessions of this nature. For example, it could be used by a wool importer in England to enable a wool shipper in Australia to obtain funds

30、to pay the actual suppliers (either by direct purchase or through the wool auctions) by obtaining a loan from the Australian bank, either on an unsecured basis or against the security of interim documents. This would enable repayment of the loan, plus interest, from the proceeds due to the Australia

31、n Beneficiary when the wool was shipped and documents were presented in accordance with the terms of the Documentary Credit. If, however, the Beneficiary failed to ship the wool so as to repay the loan by presenting documents called for by the Documentary Credit, the Australian bank would have the r

32、ight to demand repayment, with interest, from the Issuing Bank and that bank would have a similar right of recourse against the Applicant. This kind of arrangement places the onus of final repayment on the applicant, who would be liable for repayment of the advances if the Beneficiary failed to pres

33、ent the documents called for under the Documentary Credit, and who would also be liable for all costs-such as interest or foreign exchange hedging- incurred by the Issuing Bank, the Confirming Bank, if any, or any other Nominated Bank. 26 What does a Red Clause Documentary Credit mean? （ A） It is a

37、ntion to the unique nature of the Documentary Credit. （ D） Because it can make people believe the nature of the Documentary. 28 How is the Red Clause Documentary Credit used? （ A） It is often used as a means of supplying the seller with funds before shipment. （ B） It is served as a way of providing

38、the seller for funds prior to shipment. （ C） It is often used for the method of providing the seller for funds prior to shipment. （ D） It is often used as a means of supplying the seller for funds before shipment. 29 What would the Australian bank do, if the Beneficiary failed to ship the wool so as

My bank is open every day from 8: 30 in the morning until 4: 00 in the afternoon. On Fridays

43、the bank remains open until 6:30 in the evening. Friday is our busiest day. Many people get their paychecks on Fridays and they come into deposit them. I find that on Fridays I have to keep six windows open all day long. My bank tries very hard to reduce the amount of time that customers have to wai

44、f for service. We have many signs to remind people that they need their passbooks for all transactions and that they must fill out their deposit of withdrawal slips completely. If our depositors cooperate with us we can accommodate them with as few delays as possible. Of course, people do forget. Th

45、e tellers inform me that many customers still forget to endorse their checks or try to open or close joint accounts with the signature of only one of the parties. But I hope that my program of information for customers will reduce such delays. Banking has changed a lot in recent years. Computers now

46、 do much of the work that the tellers used to do. As computers improve, they are able to accomplish more difficult tasks and they help us serve our customers better. Another important change in banking, especially for savings banks, are the many different term deposit accounts that are now available

47、 to our customers. Since these certificates of deposit offer very high interest rates they help attract depositors to our bank.

48、al of our current assets and fixed assets comes to 15 550 000 dollars. Im proud of our balance sheet.
