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.

Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat little hands．”Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse．”He is said to be “undersized,” with “short legs” and a “round stomach”．The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description—it seems not that far off from historical accounts—but his choice of facts：other things that could be said of the man are not said．We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman．Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point．
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character．And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man．In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇),who has come with peace terms．Napoleon is very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms．He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped．“That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts．And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly．”
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner．“He raised his hand to the Russian’s．．．face,” Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently．．．” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court．“Well, well, why don’t you say anything?” said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon．
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own．
1.Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is ___________．
A.far from the historical facts B.based on the Russian history
C.based on his selection of facts D.not related to historical details
2.Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because ________．
A.he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B.the Tsar’s peace terms were hard to accept
C.the Russians stopped his military movement
D.he didn’t have any more army to fight with
3.Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is __________________．
A.ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests
B.fond of showing off his iron will
C.determined in destroying all of Europe
D.crazy for power and respect
4.What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A.A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings．
B.A writer may write about a hero in his own way．
C.A writer may not be responsible for what he writes．
D.A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings．
