      Wanting to know what makes a good leader is already the first step to achieving your goal.However，there is always room for improvement.A leader might be the head of the organization or team，but he or she cannot function well without teamwork.Unfortunately，a lot of leaders let their positions get into their heads.They move without discussing with the rest of the team.What makes a good leader is a sense of teamwork.Although you might be the one calling the shots，you can’t completely ignore the people you’re responsible for.

62.

Quick thinking is a necessary leadership skill.Most of the time，this is what saves the day.A good leader must know how to act swiftly and must encourage quick thinking among his or her people.The success of a group has a lot to do with both the leader and the team.It’s never just about one person only.As long as you remember what your goal is，you’ll be alright.And these additional tips on what makes a good leader will help you become a better person.

63.

Another important factor of what makes a good leader is strength.Whether it’s strength in making a decision or strength in facing challenges，a good leader knows not to show weakness.A good leader doesn’t cower (退缩) from the enemy.He or she doesn’t fear challenges or difficulties；but instead，he or she deals with them head­on.

64.

A good leader sets a good example for his or her subordinates (下级)．If you’re very particular about tardiness (缓慢)，then you have to make sure that you’re always on time.If you have strong feelings against cheating，then you yourself should not be tempted to cheat.Set a good example for the people in your team.Actions speak louder than words.

65.

A good leader takes responsibility.He or she doesn’t try to figure out a way to ignore the mess that might have been created.Instead，a good leader faces the problems and difficult situations and deals with them as they come.Being responsible also means avoiding disaster and making the right decisions.Keep in mind that you’re responsible for the rest of your team.

Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water－drink recycled sewage(污水) or die.

With the drought(干旱) continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified(净化的) waste water for drinking, even though there is great opposition to the measure.

Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier(总理)．

“I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water，” said Peter Beattie.

“These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. There's no choice. It's liquid gold, it's a matter of life and death.”

Beattie said Australia's second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.

Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.

But Australians have rebutted the idea.

To try to change the way of Australians think, Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have backed Queensland's move.

“I am very strongly in favour of recycling and Mr Beattie is right and I agree with him completely，” Howard said.

Turnbull added that Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.

“All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall，” he said.

I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me the World Wide Web.
I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook, Myspace -- I’ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I was introduced to electronic commerce(e-commerce): business on the Internet.
Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices. Others have hundreds of employees (雇员) across the world. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com, Yahoo.com?
My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal (交易) on Steve Madden shoes that were on sale at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerceless” Web-surfing, not knowing about all the deals I was missing out on.
That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.
“Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?” I asked her one day. Strange envelopes (信封) had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister; and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their elders!
“Oh, it’s the things I ordered online!” she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money- online or off!
“How much did all of this coat?”
“Oh, only about $15 in all!” She said excitedly. “Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s a way better than going to the mall.”
I felt as if there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.
