"二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
The terms of payment are important for both the seller and the buyer.
For the seller, the best terms would be full payment {A. at; B. in; C. on} cash at the time of sale. But the buyer would prefer to have the goods before making payment.
Importers and exporters are separated from each other by {A. thousands; B. a thousand; C. thousand} of miles. This adds to the difficulties of {A. to reach; B. reaching; C. reached} an agreement of payment. However, exporters and importers usually meet each other half-way and agree to payment by a Letter of Credit.
A letter of credit (L/C) is a banker’s guarantee that payment will be made, if all the required shipping documents are presented.
* In this way, exporters receive a guarantee not only from importers, but also from a bank.
* On {A. the other; B. other; C. another} hand, importers are given the guarantee that the bank will not make payment unless all the shipping documents are presented.
Nevertheless, the exporter can further require an {A. irrealizable; B. irrebuttable; C. irrevocable} letter of credit. That means the guarantee of payment cannot be cancelled either by the opening bank or the importer."
