问题                         A Country’s Standard of Living
   The“standard of living”of any country means the average person’s share of the goods and services the country produces．A country’s standard of living，therefore，【51】______first on its capacity to produce wealth．“Wealth”in this【52】______is not money，for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy：“goods”such as food and clothing，and“services”such as transport and entertainment．
   A country’s capacity to【53】______wealth depends upon many factors，most of【54】______have an effect on one another．Wealth depends【55】______a great extent upon a country’s natural resources．Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals，and have fertile(肥沃的)soil and a favorable climate；other regions【56】______none of them．
   Next to natural resources comes the ability to【57】______them to use．China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources，but suffered for many years【58】______civil and external wars，and for this and other【59】______was unable to develop her resources．Sound and stable political conditions，and【60】______from foreign invasions，enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily，and to produce more【61】______than another country equally welt favored by nature but less well ordered．
   A country’s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and【62】______within its own borders，but also upon what is directly produced through international trade．For example，Britain’s wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural【63】______would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home．Trade makes it possible for her surplus(剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products【64】______would otherwise be lacking．A country’s wealth is，therefore，much influenced by its manufacturing capacity，【65】______that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures．
