If a bill of exchange showing more than one on board notation is presented under a credit which
requires drafts to be drawn, for example, at 60 days after or from bill of lading date, and the goods according to both or all on board notations were shipped from ports within a permitted geographical area or region, the earliest of these on board dates will be used for calculation of the maturity date. Example: the credit requires shipment from European port and the bill of lading evidences on board vessel “A” from Dublin August 16, and on board vessel “B” from Rotterdam August 18. The draft should reflect 60 days from the earliest on board date in European port, i.e. August 16.

听力原文: There're more than 40 universities in Britain—nearly twice as many as in 1960. During the 1960s eight new ones were founded, and ten other new were created by converting old colleges of technology into universities. Mean- while the number of students more than doubled. By 1973 about 10% of men aged from eighteen to twenty-one were in universities and about 5 %of women. All the universities are private institutions. (12) Each has its own governing councils, including some local businessmen and local politicians as well as a few academics. The state began to give grants to them fifty years ago, and by 1970 each university derived nearly all its funds from state grants. Students have to pay fees and living costs, but every student may receive from local authority of the place where he lives a personal grant which is enough to pay his full costs, including lodging and food unless his parents are rich. (13) Most students take jobs in the summer holiday, but they don't normally do outside work during the academic year. (14) The Department of Education takes responsibility for the payment covering the whole expenditure of the universities, but it doesn't exercise direct control. It can have an important influence on new developments through its power to distribute funds, but it takes the advice of the University Grants Committee, a body that is mainly composed of academics.

听力原文: The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together, and they had an extended family. Sometimes two or more brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But family structure is changing throughout the world. The nuclear family consists of only one father, one mother, and children. It is becoming the main family structure everywhere.
The nuclear family offers women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Studies show that in nuclear families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life.
But wives usually have to "pay" for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters, grandparents, and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important position. Wives in nuclear families do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too; women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from nuclear families often have to live alone.
Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and childcare were a full-time job, and there was no time for anything else. Now women work outside and have more freedom than they did in the past, but they still have to do most of the housework. Women actually have two full-time jobs, and they have not much free time.
Questions:
17. Who used to live together in an extended family?
18. What advantages does the nuclear family offer women?
19. What is another disadvantage of the nuclear family for women?
20. Many women are dissatisfied with marriage and the nuclear family because they______.

A.Only grandparents and children.
B.Brothers with their wives.
C.Many relatives.
D.Father, mother and their children.
