One of the questions coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the international development com【66】, the coronal wisdom has been【67】the billion people living in poor countries could never expect to r【68】the standard of living that most of the people in North America e【69】, simply because the world does not contain enough iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on. At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super-affluence as though there were no limits【70】how much we could consume. We m【71】only 6 percent of the world’s people; yet we consume one third of the world’s resources.

But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, we will no longer be able to think in【73】of "our" resources and "their" resources, but only of c【74】resources.
As Americans consume such a(n)【75】(proportion) share of the world’s resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super-affluence in a world of【76】(scarce). We are now reaching the point at【77】we must carefully examine the presumed 1【78】between our level of well-being and the level of material goods consumed. If you have only one crust of bread and get another crust of bread, your well-being is greatly【79】(enhance). But if you have a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesn’t make d【80】In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still mole. The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition in, the world’s resources requires that we re-examine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world. [br]
