&8226;Look at the statements below and at the 5 passages.

&8226;Which (A, B, C, D or E) does each statement 1-8 refer to？

&8226;For each statement 1-8, mark one letter (A, B, C, D or E) on your Answer Sheet.

&8226;You will need to use some of these letters more than once.

A Sight Bill of Exchange

A sight B/E is usually defined as A bill which is expressed to be payable on demand, or at sight, or on presentation; and a bill in which no time for payment is expressed.

In other words, a sight B/E is the B/E that is payable at once the moment the B/E is presented to the drawee of it. A sight B/E is used in the case where the exporter wants to sell goods to the importer for immediate payment. When a sight B/E is presented to the drawee, the presentation will itself trigger the settlement process unless the B/E is dishonoured.

B Usance Bill of Exchange

A usance B/E is the one that is payable at a stipulated period of time after sight or after date. The date on which the drawee/acceptor sights the B/E is considered as the date on which the B/E is accepted. The acceptor adds the date to his acceptance. In this way the date of payments is fixed. The date on which payment should be effected is called maturity date of the B/E. So a B/E that is payable at 60 days is not a sight B/E but a usance B/E.

C Clean Bill of Exchange

A clean B/E is the one that is not accompanied by any commercial documents, especially not accompanied by the shipping documents. The drawer of a clean B/E may be a business, an individual, or a bank. The payee may be a business, an individual, or a bank.

In international trade, a clean B/E is usually used where the export is not of goods but of a service or used in respect of commission, the remainder of the payment and so on. A clean B/E is used where no shipment is involved or where the shipping documents have for some reason been sent separately to the buyer.

D Documentary Bill of Exchange

A documentary B/E is the one that is accompanied by commercial documents like the invoice, B/L, and insurance policy. When a documentary B/E is presented to the drawee for payment or for acceptance, the drawee will not effect the payment or acceptance unless the shipping documents are also presented to him.

A documentary B/E is welcomed by both the importer and the exporter because both can have more security.

E Commercial Bill of Exchange

The drawer of a commercial B/E may be a business or an individual and the payer may be a business, an individual or a bank. In international payments, the drawer of a commercial B/E is normally the exporter, who draws a B/E for the purpose of getting payment for the goods he sells. A commercial B/E is usually accompanied by shipping documents.

The shipping documents must be presented; otherwise the drawee will not make payment or accept the draft.

A: 首先祝贺您荣膺本届奥斯卡最佳外语片奖。您知道，我们中国人一直有一个“奥斯卡情结”。能否请您谈谈看法？

B: Thanks. Actually I've been an ardent fan of Chinese kungfu movies. And you know, some talented Chinese directors, like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and of course, An Lee, have already shown the great charm and potential of Chinese movies. They took in the last decade or so almost all film awards one by one, big or small, except Oscar. So, I can predict with great confidence they will win a heap of Oscar titles in ten years' time.

A: 有人说，一年一度的奥斯卡金像奖没什么特别的，它只不过是一场游戏罢了。请问您怎么看？

B: To some extent, yes. It is a game, a grand, happy game by Americans and in the American way. When it is finished, you needn't think about it any longer. It may benefit many people and boost their celebrity. For example, if an actor wins an Oscar, he or she will be able to sign five films the next year, each valued more than 10 million US dollars. All these are concrete things, but these aside, it is only a game, nothing special.

A: 虽说是一场游戏，但为什么每年都会在全球范围内搞得沸沸扬扬，引发出那么多话题呢？

B: Well, the reason is quite obvious — the American film industry is too strong! Most American films are commercial and they dominate the globe with their high box-office income and large market share. So Americans happily play such a grand game every year, making the whole world reel around it. My keenest feeling is only when a country becomes a decisive force on the international arena can its cultural products be influential. I believe that's the real reason why you Chinese, or even people all over the world, are unable to shake off their Oscar complex.

听力原文：I am Paul Newman from Coles. Some time ago we signed an agreement with you to build a link between our two companies. We have arranged for one of your representatives to visit me last week, but he failed to turn up by 4: 30. Naturally, I called your office to find out the reason, but the secretary I spoke to was very rode to me. Now, a week has passed, I have got no reply from your company.
