Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alf s wife has never【C9】______that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in【C10】______is well worth the loss of money.
