Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win(双赢)situation.Plogging, a new way to exercise, began in Sweden(瑞典).The name plogging comes from two words the Swedish(瑞典的)word plocka, which means to pick up(捡起), and the word jogging, which means to run slowly. A Swedish man called Erik started the movement. He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead, he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time. To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. After all, many hands make light work. Another reason is that plogging burns more calories(卡路里).According to a research, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up! Its time for us to take action together. So ready? Lets plog tomorrow!（1）The underlined(划线的)word scatter in the passage means in Chinese. A . 爆炸B . 集中C . 散落（2）After Erik saw much rubbish, .
