When the procedure is "documents against payment," the importer next goes to his bank in Australia. He pays the money which the Australian bank sends to the exporter's bank in the UK. In exchange the bank gives him the Bill of Lading and other documents. Finally, when the ship arrives at its destination, the importer gives the captain the Bill of lading and receives the goods.
When the procedure is "documents against acceptance," the first four steps are the same, but then the importer does not pay his bank the money for the goods. Instead he writes the word "accepted" on the Bill of Exchange and signs it. This means that he promises to pay the money at a later date usually 90 or 180 days after the Bill is written. The bank then gives him the Bill of lading and other documents. The importer's bank sends the accepted Bill of Exchange to the exporter, who now has proof that he will be paid in the future. When the ship arrives at its destination, the importer gives the captain of the ship the Bill of Lading and receives the goods. The importer then pays the money for the goods to his bank, which transfers it to the exporter's bank. The exporter can then exchange the accepted Bill of Exchange for the money.
When can the seller get the money in way of "documents against payment"?
A.When he delivers the goods.
B.When he presents the shipping documents to the bank.
C.Shortly after his bank receives the money.
D.When the buyer gets the goods.

The report notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition. Many children who live in homes with plenty of food suffer for other reasons. For example, the study says that mothers often fail to give their newly born babies their first breast milk. This milk-like substance is called colostrums(初乳). It is full of nutrients that improve a baby's ability to fight infections and disease.
The study also links malnutrition(营养不良) to economic growth in poor countries. A lack of nutrition in early childhood can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earnings. Many of these same countries have economies that are growing at a rate of two to three percent yearly. The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.
Africa and South Asia are affected the most by poor nutrition. The study says about half of all children in India do not get enough good food. The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa. Other parts of the world are also severely affected, including Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Guatemala and Peru.
The study recommends that developing countries change their policies to deal with malnutrition. Instead of directly providing food, the study suggests educational programs in health and nutrition for mothers with young babies. It also recommends cleaner living conditions mad improvements in health care.
World Bank nutrition specialist Meera Shekar said the period of life between pregnancy and two years is extremely important. Governments with limited resources should take direct action to improve nutrition for children during this period.

A.Poor nutrition in developing countries.
