A “crossed“ cheque is so called because it

33、has two parallel lines across it-an “open“ cheque does not. The effective difference is that a “crossed“ cheque would not normally be cashed, but would need to be paid in to an account. An “open“ cheque can be cashed by the payee at the branch of the bank upon which it is drawn. Should a “crossed“ c

34、heque fall into some unauthorized persons hands, he could not cash it. As it must go through an account, the bank is able to trace the presenter of the cheque and therefore the money may not be lost. Once an “open“ cheque has been cashed over the counter of a bank by an unauthorized person, the mone

35、y may never be recovered. For this reason, it is always wise to use “crossed“ cheques when paying bills or sending cheques through the post. Should a customer wish to “cross“ an “open“ cheque before issuing it, he can do so simply by ruling two ink lines across it. To “open“ a “crossed“ cheque in or

36、der to draw cash for himself at his own branch, he simply writes “pay cash“ between the parallel lines and adds his signature beneath. 51 If an “open“ cheque falls into some unauthorized persons hand, he can cash it immediately and the bank is not able to trace him. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt

38、Doesnt say 53 Banks face losses from three sources : their own position if short or long in a particular currency; dealing positions taken by employees who gamble with the banks money; and defaults by counter-parties to forward exchange contracts and covering transactions. These risks were well illu

39、strated by events in 1974: Bankhaus Herstatt, cologne, collapsed due largely to losses on its foreign exchange exposures; Lloyds Bank, Lugano, lost USD77 million due to unauthofised trading by staff. Herstatts closure by the Bundesbank during working hours left many banks with unfulfilled foreign ex

40、change transactions. Since then banks and authorities have tightened their control. Banks still take a position on foreign currencies and put traders on commission to speculate on their behalf, but mainly on within-day trading or on overnight positions. On longer-term positions banks aim to match li

46、ent from the bank which details all the transactions in the month, together with the total amount outstanding and any minimum amount that needs to be paid. When the full balance is not settled each month, the cardholder is charged a compound interest“ (say 0.05% ) on the outstanding balance, and thi

47、s is supposed to provide the bank with a main source of income (although in China, this revenue is still low because people are reluctant to run into debt).

48、on paid by the seller. 57 A credit card is a plastic card and the like to be used to obtain money, goods, or services and an overdraft is not allowed. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 58 Normally, banks will set different credit limits on different customers credit card ac counts. （ A） Right （
