问题     Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s【B1】________environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even【B2】________ (interest) is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.

The bags【B4】________ (prohibit) in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists【B5】________Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
    Among the bag【B6】________ (make) argument; many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags,【B7】________are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
    The industry【B8】________ (take) aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a【B9】________ (reuse) bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.
