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．
