1. Always start the meeting on time. If you begin on time, group members who show up late will realize the value of time. Beginning on time reflects skill as an effective time manager and sets an example for others to follow.
2. Select a note-taker or arrange to have the meeting audio-taped. You may need to refer back to an issue that was discussed during the meeting at a later date. Good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well.
3. Learn to listen. So many times we think we are going to say and, in the process, block out important points that other group members may be contributing. Additionally, we often hear only what we want to hear, rather than really listening to other people. Meetings that are characterized by effective listening are successful meetings.
4. Keep the discussion on track. Many times important issue can get sidetracked in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. If an unexpected conflict develops once the meeting is in progress, either appoint a subcommittee to look into the problem, or ask participants involved in the conflict to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and minimize the chances of wasting participants‘ valuable time.

5. Give everyone an opportunity to be heard. Some people tend to control meetings, whereas others wait to be asked their opinions. As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas without criticism.
6. End on time. If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting lasts for only one hour. Running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the chances that the members will mentally leave the meeting and reduces your reliability (可信赖性) as an effective meeting manager.

On average, Americans waste as much energy as two-thirds of the world‘s population consumes. That‘s largely the result of driving inefficient cars, using inefficient appliances, and living and working in poorly insulated buildings.
Then what can you do to improve the situation?
Buy energy-efficient products.—Buy new appliances or electronics of the highest energy-efficiency rating. New energy-efficient models may cost more initially, but have a lower operating cost over their lifetimes. The most energy-efficient models carry the Energy Star label, which identifies products that use 20—40 percent less energy than standard new products. According to the EPA, the typical American household can save about $400 per year in energy bills with products that carry the Energy Star.
Switch to compact fluorescent bulbs. — Change the three bulbs you use most in your house to

compact fluorescents. Each compact fluorescent bulb will keep half a ton of carbon dioxide out of the air over its lifetime. Moreover, compact fluorescent bulbs last ten times as long and can save $30 per year in electricity costs.
Set heating and cooling temperatures correctly. — Check thermostats in your home to make sure they are set at a level that doesn‘t waste energy. Get an electronic thermostat that will allow your furnace to heat the house to a lower temperature when you‘re sleeping and return it to a more comfortable temperature before you wake up.
Turn off the lights. —Turn off lights and other electrical appliances such as televisions and radios when you‘re not using them. Install automatic timers for lights that people in your house frequently forget to turn off when leaving a room.

Good news
If you want to see good collections of arts and antiquities (古董), this is a good place. No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities.
Britain is the only country to match the US on this score. That means pop music in Britain is almost as good as that in US.
Very familiar, London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them at weekends or night.
Visitors can find everything from Ethiopian to Swedish restaurants. In Swedish Restaurant, you can eat whatever you are interested in. It is the same in Ethiopian Restaurant. Bad news
―It‘s part of the image of the place. People can dine out on the rudeness they have experienced.‖ said Professor Tony Seaton, of London University‘s International Tourism Research Center. Trains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists, although the overcrowded London tube is surprisingly popular.
Speaking slowly and clearly may not get many foreign visitors very far, even in the tourist traps (圈套). People can not make themselves understood. Rain is still in the number one complaint.
Unlike tour in other places, no air-conditioning is in use so that even splendidly hot summers become as unbearable as the downpours.
The only European country with a higher rate of tax on hotel rooms is Denmark. Besides, you‘ll have few chances to find hotels less cheap.

If people work to meet their needs, it would be good to know what these needs are. They are very simple. Dr. Maslow has suggested that people have only five needs. Every one has them, and everyone spends his or her life trying to satisfy them. Although we may try to satisfy our needs in different ways, we all are trying to satisfy the same needs. In a way, it is these needs, which are common to all people, that make us human. They seem to be a basic part of human nature.
The needs, which occur in the order shown below, can briefly be described as follows: 1．The Physiological Needs - Our needs for the things that keep our bodies alive- food, water, rest, air, elimination, etc. These needs come first. We must meet them or we will die.
2．The Safety Needs – First we need to stay alive, and then we need to be safe. There are two kinds of safety needs: the need to be physically safe and the need to be psychologically safe or secure.
