There are a bewildering (46) of decisions to be made every day, from the moment we wake up out of a deep sleep to the moment we fall asleep at the end of the day. Some people are very good at making decisions and others (47) it almost impossible.
Take, for example, a simple meal out with my friend Barbara. She can never make her mind up about what to (48) for and will look at a menu for with indecision. It results (49) her voice becoming extremely (50). When she gets frustrated, ugly red blotches erupt on her face. (51), I do admire the fact that she still tries to remain positive in such situations and she invariably (52) a desire to be more decisive like myself. I am (53) to the acute embarrassment I know she suffers at these times and suffer along with her. When it comes to food, it's easy for me, as I'll know instantly what I fancy, and when it comes to desserts, I rarely have any (54) left for them, so it's easy for me to say I'll have nothing.
However, I fall down abysmally with fashion decisions and, for some reason, Barbara has no problem there. She finds it easy to decide what to wear and has an innate (55) of style of which I'm extremely envious. I can imagine her still looking youthful and stylish at 70, while at 22 I already look like an elderly woman who doesn't care about how she looks.

Today, the Secret Service is the agency of the United States government that is charged with the protection of the president and family members of the president. Any time that the president appears in public, neatly dressed Secret Service agents are clearly in evidence alongside the president. Secret Service agents might also accompany a presidential spouse to committee meeting, on a shopping trip, to a charity a event, or out for a walk in the park. Agents accompany the president's children to school on a daily basis, sitting unobtrusively but hardly unnoticed in the background throughout each hour of class, and tag along with the president's children on dates and to any type of social event.
The Secret Service is so much in evidence around the president and members of the president's family, one might question why the activities of these agents are considered secret. The name of the agency, however, is not derived from its duty in protecting the president but from its original covert duty in protecting the economy of the young United States from counterfeiters. Before the Civil War, the official currency of the United States was in coins; however, after the war, the government began issuing paper money. This new paper currency was easy for counterfeiters to replicate, and soon counterfeit bills flooded the country. Secret Service agents, as part of the Department of the Treasury, posed as criminals interested in purchasing large sums of counterfeit bills in order to gather evidence against counterfeiters and put them out of their illegal business. For quite some time, the government preferred to keep the public in the dark about the extent of the counterfeiting at that time, afraid that the public would lose confidence in the country's paper money if they knew that there was SO much counterfeit money mixed in with the real thing.
It was not until 1901 that the role of the Secret Service was expanded from protecting the currency of the country to protecting its president. In that year, then President William McKinley was shot by an assassin in Buffalo, New York. Sadly, he died eight days later from the wounds inflicted during the assassination attempt. At that time, the Secret Service was assigned to protect the president, in addition to its other duties, and it has carried out that assignment, often not in a secretive fashion, to this day.
