        It's the water that makes our daily lives possible. That's why protecting source water is one of the primary missions at the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission. We provide safe, clean drinking water to 1.8 million residents in Prince George's and Montgomery counties.1

        One way we protect the water is through the watershed. The watershed reduces the pollutants reaching the reservoirs. They hold the source water that provides 30 percent of our customers with drinking water. That's over 600,000 people. For many years, we have issued permits to allow limited recreational use of the watershed. 2 It's a quiet, beautiful area away from urban stress and traffic. And we use it ourselves and other activities to promote water and environmental awareness.

        3 Last year, the WSSC issued new regulations with new restrictions impacting all users, including, closing the watershed a month earlier in the fall and opening it a month later in the spring. We also limited horseback riding to the access roads. Our goal was and is to protect the watershed.

        A very small but vocal group felt we should have consulted them first. Perhaps afterward we should have. But I do want to make one thing very clear. 4 But we cannot allow the interests of a tiny group to override (不理会) the well­being of the WSSC customers who drink the water from those reservoirs. There must be a balance.

        5 So we hired a consultant to gather data, gather input from watershed users, and assess the condition of the watershed. We also asked them to look at our operations and management practices and provide the WSSC with findings and recommendations on how to make improvements.

        It's time to work together to protect the water and provide appropriate access to the rare jewel we call the watershed.

    A. We certainly understand the attraction.

    B. At no time did we consider closing the watershed entirely.

    C. However, only a few people like saving water.

    D. But most importantly it's about protecting the water.

    E. The government has taken some strong measures.

    F. We take that responsibility very seriously.

    G. A review of our watershed policies and regulations was overdue.

        Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter — like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.

    Experience fear.

    I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    Create space.

        The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the "fight or flight(逃避)" response in the body.

    Control the breath and feel the fear.

        Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

        With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.

    A. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.

    B. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do.

    C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.

    D. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.

    E. When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.

    F. But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.

    G. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.

        Although most parents don't like doing it after a long and exhausting workday, reading bedtime stories does make a positive influence on your child's emotional and mental health. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

        Changing relationships.

        We often spend a lot of time complaining about the things we don't have or thinking about the things we want to have in future, and forget those things we have now. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. One of the best ways is to make a list of all the things you are grateful for.

        Having a comfortable family

    Having a good relationship with friends

        {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, be grateful for having them, even if you have only one. Personally I can say that one good friend is always better than a few so-called friends. Be thankful to your friends and try to remind them how much you care as often as possible.

        {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Many people might feel lost during a major transition (转折) in life. Life coaching, however, is the best choice for anyone who is looking for ways to get through the tough path of life.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Some life coaches might focus only on certain types of situations, like advancing careers, while others may be willing to help with nearly any life transition.

    A life coach will often act as an advisor for his clients (客户). {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Many times, he will also be able to look at a client's life with a fair eye and offer fresh ideas on certain situations. In doing so, the life coach will usually be able to help his client work through any problems he may face.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} During this interview, the life coach should find out what the client's wants, needs and goals are in life.

    How to help each client is different to everyone, and it is a very individualized process. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Because of this, a life coach must develop plans based on each client's strengths, weaknesses, abilities and so on. A life coach will also usually take each client's morals and values into consideration.

    Some life coaches may be able to find employment with a few select universities and corporations. There are also a handful of large life coaching firms that hire life coaches as well. The majority of life coaches, however, work for themselves, opening their own life coaching practices.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    A. Methods that work for one client may not work for another.

    B. A good life coach should try to satisfy all the needs of his clients.

    C. He is often expected to listen closely to their concerns and problems.

    D. Before a life coach can help a client, he first needs an in-depth interview.

    E. Life coaches offer guidance to all types of people in different stages of their lives.

    F. In some cases, life coaches may work together and offer a wider range of services.

    G. Generally, there are no strict education requirements for starting a life coaching career.
