[填空题]People in the rich one-third don’t realize the enormous difference between them and the other two-thirds.

Although a lot of the world’s natural resources like oil come from these poorer countries, we in the richer countries are probably using sixty times as much of these resources as a person in Asia or Africa. The richer countries are in a position to dictate the suppliers what kind of prices they are prepared to pay for these natural resources. In some cases, the prices have gone down.
