Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #46792 Commodity
Instructions
If    you    perform    a    service    or    a    commodity    for    others,    you    should    be    for    your    pains.    So    much    is    only    fair    and    right.    If    you    do    it    well,    you    deserve    to    from    it.    There    is    nothing    in    itself    with    wealth,    nor    with    any    individual    or    company    growing    rich.    Profit    is    an    enabler    because    it    takes    people    and    peoples    beyond    subsistence    levels    to    the    amenities    of    life,    to    comfort    and    culture,    to    new    knowledge    and    new    possibilities.    But    the    picture    changes    when    profits    are    out    of    others'    loss    or    suffering.    That,    unfortunately,    happens    far    too    often.    It    seems    that    one    well-known    oil    company    becomes    over    £300    richer    every    second.    Amazing,    but    not    as    disquieting    as    the    fact    that    the    chairman    of    a    major    company    can    earn    as    much    in    a    year    as    50    or    100    nurses    do.    Defenders    of    high-flying    business    people    point    out    that    they    have    responsible    jobs,    producing    wealth    which,    indirectly    through    taxation    helps    pay    nurses'    wages.    But    is    the    chairman    of    a    business    
worth    50    nurses?
