Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension (20%)
A.Read the passage and answer the questions.
　　There are many ways of selling manufactured goods to foreign buyers. A manufacturer may sell direct to wholesalers and maintain his own traveling representatives, or set up his own offices or companies abroad. Alternatively he may sell to an export merchanting house; in this case there is little financial risk for the producer, since the merchant acts as a principal and pays for the goods himself. A third possibility is for the manufacturer to appoint foreign agents, who will work on commission and may be stockists. In this case goods may be sent on consignment, unsold, and the agent is expected to obtain the best price available; but this practice is more common with produce exports.
　　The prices of raw materials and produce change every day, so offers are usually only firm for about twenty-four hours. The prices of manufactured goods, on the other hand, remain unchanged, as a rule, for weeks or months. So buyers can place orders on the basis of manufacturer's printed price list.
