听力原文： Banker's acceptances are a very old form. of commercial credit. They provide, in essence, a method whereby a bank may add its good name and reputation to bills of a borrower, thereby making the bills much more marketable than it would otherwise be. Specifically, the mechanics of the operation typically, work like the following. Suppose that an American exporter sells wheat to a German importer. The terms of the sale are that the German importer will pay for the wheat ninety days after it is shipped. For a variety of reasons, however, the American firm may want its money now, and not want to wait the ninety days. If so, it may issue a draft on its bank ordering the bank to pay a stipulated sum of money to the holder of the draft ninety days from now. Along with the draft, the American exporter will send the appropriate documents showing that the wheat has actually been shipped. When the bank receives the draft, together, with the documentation, it stamps "accepted" across the face of it.

(17)

A．The payments of her draft.

B．The collection of her draft.

C．The exchange of some dollars.

D．The opening of her account.

A: I made a very close study of the draft contract last night.

B: Any questions？

A: Yes．There are a few points which I'd like to bring up．First, the packing．It's stipulated in the contract that all the machine parts should be packed in wooden cases．This can be done with the machine parts, but it's impossible to pack a truck base like that.

B: I see.

A: Second, about the terms of payment．Your draft contract says that payment is to be made by D/P．This is not our practice．We prefer to have the payment made by L/C through a negotiating bank in France.

B: And…

A: And the third point is about arbitration．It's stipulated that arbitration shall take place in China．In all our past contracts signed with you, it was stipulated that arbitration took place in a third country.

B: Yes, that's right.

A: But how is it that this time you wish to have it carried out in China？

B: Shall we take up the matter point by point？

A: That's a good idea.

B: Now, the first point is about packing．We agree to a different packing for the truck.

A: This can easily be done.

B: Second, about terms of payment by L/C.

A: Thank you.

B: As for arbitration, in our dealings with many countries, arbitration is to be carried out in China．The Arbitration Commission of CCPIT enjoys a high prestige among friendly companies．Personally I hope you'll accept this clause．Furthermore, the disputes that have arisen from our business transaction were all settled through friendly consultations．Very rarely was arbitration restored to.

A: I see．OK．The new arbitration clause is acceptable．Is there anything else？

B: As far as the contract stipulations are concerned, there is nothing more．Thank you very much.

A: When should we sign the contract？

B: We'I1 revise the contract this evening, and have it ready to be signed tomorrow morning at ten．How's that？

A: Perfect.
