  Khalil came to the United States from the United Kingdom,where he was a college student,and he had paid quite a bit of money to a company to come to this country and go door-to-door selling books. He had been promised a place to live with a family,but the host family said they had daughters and expected to host two girls,not two boys¨DKhalil and his workmate,Andy. All the other salesmen had been placed with host families but there was no room for these two. And they were in trouble It was in June. After he knocked on my door,Khalil and I made the rounds of my friends in neighborhood. Did they have room? Did they know anyone who did?

  Back at my house,I made lunch and learned all about Khalil's family. His mother was proud of his decision of coming to America. His mother had cried when he left. He missed his sister;she is his best friend.

  Just as I had predicted,a friend and neighbor took in Khalil and Andy for the summer in return for a very small rent. I know I'm lucky as this story has a happy ending.

  As much of Arizona enters an 11th year of drought conditions,the state could experience its driest winter season in centuries. And that has officials worrying about agriculture,water supplies and the threat of wildfires.

  Arizona's mountains are almost bare,with snowpack conditions worse than they were at the same time in 2002¨Da year that set records as one of the driest in five centuries.

  Rural areas are facing water shortages by early summer if rains don't come.

January and February typically bring much of the snow needed to refill reservoirs (Ë®¿â) and keep rivers and forests healthy. But a stubborn weather pattern has been leading every storm north of Arizona so far this winter.

  The Salt and Verde rivers' watersheds received just 0. 14 of an inch of rain in November and December,and none has fallen in Phoenix since Oct. 18.

  "I've never seen anything like this," said Larry Martinez,water supply specialist for the Federal Natural Resources Conservation Service. "It's quite shocking to a lot of folks who depend on the snow. There could still be a miracle turnaround;don't underestimate (¹ýµÍ¹À¼Æ) Mother Nature. But the trend doesn't look good for us right now."

  Farmers who draw on smaller rivers and reservoirs could run short this year. The lack of rain will increase the demand for water early in growing seasons,which will further weaken supplies.

  Meanwhile,some experts are already predicting one of the worst wildfire seasons in years around Arizona with a fatal combination of drying trees and driedout grass.

  The State Department of Water Resources had begun meeting with local leaders under a drought plan produced two years ago by a governor's task force.

  The main effect of the dry winter in the Phoenix metropolitan (´ó¶¼ÊеÄ) area is an increase in water consumption,say city water departments. Mesa increased its use of Central Arizona Project water by 17% in November and 26% in December.

  Whether cities will be forced to dip into other store depends on the weather for the next two or three months. Forecasters are predicting warm,dry conditions.

 To prove that all time has value,a manager at a large corporation in the Northeast asked everyone who attended a meeting to " punch in"(´ò¿¨) .At the end of the meeting he calculated the total price of the meeting in manhours and changed these into dollars by prorating (°´±ÈÀý·ÖÅä) each staffer's salary. Indeed,for each $10,000 you make annually,a single hour is worth $5. That's why the most successful people are those who've mastered the timesaving strategies described here. Stay Focused All top performers establish priorities (ÓÅÏÈ×öµÄÊÂ) .Helen Gurley Brown,editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan,always keeps an issue of the magazine on her desk. Whenever she attempts to do something that doesn't contribute to the magazine's success,she glances at that issue,and it gets her back on track.

One way to order your priorities is to create a "to do" list. Every evening,write down the top 20        tasks to be done the next day,and review the list several times throughout the day. The best way to accomplish what's on the list is to give each task a specific time limit. Pattern of Success Most people who want to get ahead spend useful time writing personal notes of gratitude,sympathy and congratulations. But when it comes to routine memos (±¸Íü¼) £¬letters,fact sheets and forms,they save a lot of time by relying on previously written material.

Susan Taylor,editor-in-chief of Essence,has created some 40        form letters for everything. Stored on her computer,the letters can be called up,copied and customized by changing a few key words. Taylor then often adds a handwritten greeting at the bottom as a personal touch. Telephone Tips Financier J. B. Fuqua has made a fortune putting deals together over the telephone. His most important strategy is to make notes before he places a call.

  To avoid playing telephone tag,return phone calls right away,because you're likely to catch the caller and your messages won't pile up. Leaving a detailed message on someone's voice mail prevents you from getting tied up in long conversations and will get you an answer more quickly. Do It Now Suzanne Caygill was a designer. To deal with all the demands of her schedule,she followed a rule; If she had a job to do,she did it immediately.
