The central problem of economics is to satisfy the people's and nation's wants.
The problem we faced with is that our resources, here identified as money are __50__. The only way we can solve the problem is to make choices. After looking at our resources, we must examine our list of __51__ and identify the things we need immediately, those we can postpone, and __52__ we cannot afford. As individuals, we face the central problem involved in economics---deciding how to allocate(分配) our limited resources to provide __53__ with greatest satisfaction of our wants.
Nations face the same problem. As a country's population __54__, the need for more goods and services grows correspondingly. Resources necessary to production may increase, but there are __55__ enough resources to satisfy the total desires of a nation. Whether the budget meeting is taking place in the family living room, in the conference room of the corporation __56__ of directors, or in the chamber of the House of Representatives in Washington, the basic problem still exists. We need to find __57__ of allocating（分配） limited resources in order to satisfy unlimited wants.
A short time ago, economists divided goods into two categories, free and economic. The former, like air and water, were in __58__ abundance(豐富) that economists had___59____ them. After all, economics is the __60__ of scarcity and what to do about it. Today many of these "free goods" are __61_ very expensive to use. Population has made clean air and water expensive for producers extra cost, and __62__ taxpayers who pay for the government's involvement in cleaning the environment.
In the 1990s, almost all goods are __63__. Only by effort and money can they be obtained .
Meeting needs of people and the demands from resource available __64__ the basic activity of production. In trying to meet unlimited wants from limited economic goods, production leads to new problems in economics.

I was growing tired of helping so many people. Almost every   37  I was awaken during a sound night’s sleep and had to   38  someone out. Many times I was   39  by some penniless motorists who did not even thank me for the helps that they received and some even complained that I could have done   40 .

He helped me to once again want to do something for those who are   50 . I wish I could thank him for   51 some of my belief in the basic   52  of others and for giving me back a little of the   53  I had lost. Because of him, I once again felt part of a golden chain of kindness that   54  us to others.
I may have fed his body that day, but he fed my   55 .
