How did I become known as a "rubbish picker '?  
I never   36   rubbish before.  I didn't care where it went or who cleaned it up.  But two years ago, I started caring about it deeply.  I lived near a forest in Ohio, America.  I can walk there    37   three minutes! I used to love going there to play with my dog.  One day there was   38   much rubbish there that I became very unhappy.  I decided to clean up the forest.  I want to   39   happy going there again. I made my first trip to clean the forest that afternoon.  I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes    40   I started to pick up rubbish, my bag was full! From then on, I go to the forest four times a year   41   rubbish, it makes me feel   42  to do something for the environment. After each trip, I look at all the rubbish that I've found.  If   43   of it is recyclable, I keep it.  I will keep picking up 44---people stop dropping it.  I know I am only doing a small bit 45   the earth, but I think it is important.

Sylvan:????????????? I’ll hire(雇佣) some good-looking guys and girls to push the carts around and pretend they’re shopping.

Fred:????????????? Oh! So the real shoppers will see these attractive people using the carts and think, “Hey, if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me!”

Sylvan:????????????? E 7. .

Fred:????????????? Hey! Maybe you could get one of the girls to greet your customers and encourage them to use the cart.
