致用商务英语阅读programme ten Terms of Payment 共64页
Cash in Advance Under cash in advance terms, the importer prepays
the seller prior to shipment of the goods. Cash in advance terms are typically used in new relationships where transactions are small and the buyer has little flexibility but to prepay. Since there is no guarantee that the goods will be shipped, the buyer needs to feel comfortable enough in the seller’s ability and willingness to ship after payment has already been effected. The buyer should also consider the political and social stability of the seller’s country, which may make it impossible for the seller to ship the goods as promised.
A letter of credit is issued by the buyer’s bank, advised through a bank in the seller’s country (in most cases, the seller’s bank), and then forwarded to the seller by the advising bank. The L/C specifies the terms and conditions that must be met before payment is rendered. The letter of credit process has been standardized by a set of rules

2019年初级商务英语阅读理解试题(6).doc
2019年初级商务英语阅读理解试题（6）In the last few years, managers throughout industry haveseen more changes than many of them could have expected tosee in their entire working lives having to communicateinformation which often leads to feelings of insecurity hasbecome a key activity. From being regarded as relativelyunimportant in many companies , management employeecommunication has become a central corporate need.Concordia International provides a good example of acompany that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 ,Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing led,customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, ratherthan inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eightyears, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntarybasis, with further downsizing anticipated.From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company.The role of employee communication in such a context is to build peoples self-confidence, topersuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring withthem new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to beskeptical of theseclaims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they haveworked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are beingswept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have hadto face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life.Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk ofemployees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the new situation: on the onehand there are the pragmatists and on the other the highly anxious the former see their jobas a means to an end and have a relatively short-term perspective, with strong loyalty to their localterm , rather than the company as a whole . The second category, usually the majority, mayrespond to threatened changes with a feeling of having been let down, and even feel anger at thecompany for what they see as changing the terms of their employment.The employee communication process needs to be capable of accurately directing itsmessages at a variety of employee groups and departments within the workforce . this is whymiddle managers and line managers are so key to communication. They are the people who knowabout the full rage of concerns among the workforce. The problem in the past was that this crucialarea was often the responsibility of a separate, relatively isolated unit. Concordia putsresponsibilityfor communication firmly on line managers. All their research points to the same conclusion: peopleprefer to get their information face-to-face from their line managers. That is the key relationshipand where arguments and hearts and minds are lost.The general rule in company communication is to tell employees as much as you can as soonas you can. If you cant provide details, then at least put the news in context and commit yourselfto providing greater detail when it becomes available another rule of company communication isthat there must be a fit between what the company is telling its employees and what it is telling itsshareholders.15 In the last eight years, Concordia hasA made over 80.000 employees reduncdantB completed a period of downsizingC reduced its workforce of 80.000 by 35%D given 35% of departing employees voluntary redundancy16 From Concordias point of view, the role of communication is toA win employee support before going ahead with the changesB change the companys core activities.C emphasise the positive aspects of the changesD explain the need for the changes17 what does research show about most employees response tochange?A they expect it to have a bad effect on the companyB they feel completely powerlessC they become less loyalD they fell they have been treated unfairly18 Concordias communication process mainly relies onA printed communicationB departmental headsC personal communicationD a separate, specialized unit19 According to the writer, what is the guiding principle about giving information within anorganization?A Never make promises about future developmentsB Give people an overall view at the earliest possible stageC always include plenty of hard informationD Hold back until all the details can be provided20 which of the following would be the most suitable title for the article?A employee attitudes to company communicationB making company communication more effectiveC Researching company commmucationD Making employees feel less powerless参考答案及解析文章取材自一本管理手册，说的是一个组织里的有效沟通问题。
