Every Wednesday at 7 pm, a group of running enthusiasts from different countries gather at a bar in Shanghai before setting {#blank#}1{#/blank#} on their 5-kilometer run. But this is no ordinary run. These people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (arm) with trash (垃圾) bags. The members of this group don't simply run for the sake of good health. They do it for the sake of the Earth {#blank#}3{#/blank#} well.

    Called "plogging", this new fitness activity originated in Sweden in 2016 and was introduced to Shanghai in 2018. The term is a combination of the words "jogging" and "plocka upp", {#blank#}4{#/blank#} means "pick up" in Swedish.

    By the summer of 2018 just a few months after Trash Running China was founded, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (it) WeChat group had grown to include more than 400 runners. To make the activity more fun for both {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (newcomer) and regular ploggers, Trash Running China also {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (frequent) organizes longer weekend runs in the suburban areas. "We want more people to hold small 'plogging' groups and have a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (responsible) to organize trash running activities in their own neighborhoods," says Eisenring, who founded Trash Running China." 'Plogging' is a way {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (know) the people and the city a bit more," says Robbin Trebbe, one of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (late) runners to join the group.

    The game of basketball was created by Dr. Naismith, a Canadian who worked as a physical education {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (instruct) at a college. He noticed {#blank#}2{#/blank#}lack of interest in exercise among students during wintertime. The Canadian winters were very cold, so the students were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (will) to do outdoor activities. Naismith determined that a fast-moving game {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (play) indoors would fill the empty after the baseball seasons had ended. In December of 1891, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hang) two old baskets at either end of the gym, and with nine players on each side, organized the first basketball game. In less than a year, basketball was being played in {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the United States and Canada. Five years {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (late), a championship was held in New York City. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}that time, the team had already been reduced to seven, and five became standard in the 1897 season. When basketball first appeared in the 1904 Olympic Games, it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (quick) spread throughout the world. In 1906, a metal ring {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (use) to replace the basket, but the name basketball has remained.
