Part 5 Read the following passage and answer questions (15分)
Name, shame and claim from late payers
The late payment of commercial debts bill will soon become law. When it does, small businesses which employ fewer than 50 people will have the right to charge a hefty rate of interest to the 1% of larger businesses that pay late.
Unless an existing contract states otherwise, invoices will have to be settled in 30 days, or the creditor will be able to charge interest at 8% over the Bank of England base rate. For habitually late payers, the penalties should act as a deterrent.
According to a survey by Grant Thornton, the speed of payment varies greatly from nation to nation. The Finns settle their invoices in 24 days, the Fanes in 35 days, the Swedes in 37, and the Germans in 38. In the UK creditors must wait almost a fortnight longer—the average payment period is 50 days. Still worse, a NatWest survey of small businesses found that one in 10 of them had 30% of their invoices unpaid after three months.
The Bill sounds like a good idea, but the small business community have their doubts. “We are skeptical,” says a spokesman from the federation of Small Businesses. “Most people won’t impose interest, and on the continent, legislation hasn’t made much difference.” In fact, some European late payment legislation has failed. For example, in Italy the average payment wait is 84 days. The Federation aims to use the Bill to raise awareness about the effects of late payment. It will publish its first league table of worst payers, compiled by Dun & Bradstreet, in the autumn and believes this naming and shaming exercise will have more impact than the legislation.

Part 8 Read the following interview and answer questions (15分)
Interviewer: I wonder of you could each give us a brief description of how the departments that you work for are organized and what different types of services they provide?
Speaker 1: Of course, although it’s not easy to summarize such a big organization as ours without oversimplifying things a little. In my case I work in FAS, which stands for Financial Advisory Services and we provide financial advice to companies around the world. We might be asked, for example, to give advice to a company that is considering a merger or an acquisition. Or an organization might require our help with arranging the finance for some really large project like building a power station. Another aspect of FAS deals with what we call ‘Business Recovery and Restructuring’ and here we usually work with companies that have run into financial difficulties and which need to reorganize. Lastly FAS also includes Valuations, which, as its name suggests, involves valuing business for companies and investors to see exactly what they are worth.
Speaker 2: I work in MCS or Management Consulting Services and here we tend to concentrate on advising our clients about the performance side of their businesses. We do this in a variety of ways. We can help companies define their business strategy, which sets out the ways in which they intend to grow and develop the business. Sometimes we work more on the detailed day-to-day operations, looking at how to improve the ways in which a company runs its business. We also have specialists who review the clients’ information technology systems and suggest how they can be improved and, in some cases, even managing the department for them.
Questions:
What does FAS stand for? (5分)
What type of services does FAS offer to its customers? (5分)
How can MCS help its customers? (5分)
