By the end of the six-hour cleanup, they (30)_(remove) enough garbage to fill more than two large trucks. “(31)_(see) all that garbage in the river makes people begin to

19、care about environmental issues,” Susan says. She hopes that when others read that, she and her peers care enough (32)_(clean) it up, maybe they would think twice before they throw garbage into the river.(B)Dave Fuss lost his job (33)_(drive) a truck for a small company in west Michigan.
