In a big room on the second floor of the New York City Department of Sanitation's East 99th Street garage， 63-year-old Manhattan native Nelson Molina was listening to a Frank Sinatra CD he found in the trash． "The Way You Look Tonight" was playing through a music player． In fact， the entire space was filled with items strangers threw away．"My family kept everything，"said Molina．"Nowadays， people throw it all away．" Molina， during his 34 years as a sanitation worker （环卫工人）， gave these items a second life．

Molina grew up in a housing project with his parents and five other kids in the family and had a habit of picking up unused items at a young age． "My family was poor， so we didn't get much for Christmas，" he said． "I'd go out to look for a toy for my sisters， maybe a truck for my brothers．" He kept his early morning habit secret from his friends， but not out of embarrassment： "I didn't want the competition．"

On the job， Molina had his sixth sense for finding items．"I could tell， sometimes just by the sound， whether a bag was filled with bottles or a different kind of glass，" he said． He kept special finds on the truck， and then put them in out-of-the-way places in the sanitation garage． After almost 10 years， he began showing his discoveries．"It's not a normal practice．"said NYC Department of Sanitation assistant chief Keith Mellis． Recently， a team of New York University students has taken on the task of cataloging （分类） the tens of thousands of objects， in hopes that the collection， which has hardly been open to the public， might one day be shown in an official sanitation museum．

1.Why did Molina go to the garage？ ______

A. To listen to music．　　 B. To clean the space．

C. To keep items he collected．　　 D. To get items strangers threw away．
