This week in our Foreign Student Series,we talk about getting an American education online.A student named Hendra has written to us from Indonesia asking about a good online university.Finding the right online program requires research.Talking to advisers and recruiters(招募者)can help.Keep in mind,though,that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs.
The Council on Higher Education Accreditation(CHEA)recognizes a group in Washington,D.C.,to accredit(授權(quán))schools that offer distance learning.One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council.
We asked the executive director,Michael Lambert,for advice on choosing a distance learning program.He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA Web site to find if a school is accredited.The address is c-h-e-a dot o-r-g.Next,make sure the school offers what you need.Do you need a degree,or will a certificate or license be enough?
Another consideration is cost.Often the published price does not include all the costs --like books.Technology requirements can also add to the costs.Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want?
Also,consider the level of interaction that an online program offers.You might never meet the teacher or other students in person.
Finally,and this is our own advice,find out what others say on the Internet for comments or news stories about schools that interest you.Just remember that what people say is not always fair or true.

     The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(靈魂).   1    Separateness, according to
psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.
      2   It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between
two kinds of love: B-love or "being love" means love for another person: unselfish love not dependent
upon your own needs. D-love or "deficiency-love" is a selfish possessive love which is based upon
someone else's ability to satisfy your needs.
     D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met…But B-love is
unconditional.    3   Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow
yourself to be known to the other person.
     The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love.  4    Symbiotic union is
an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow's concept of D-love.
     Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their
independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of
separateness yet continue to be themselves. The mature lover would say , "I love you because I need
you," but the mature one: " 5   "
A.There are two types of love.
B.I need you because I love you.
C.Love is a way of overcoming the feeling
D.Every one of us needs love.
E.It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.
F.They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同體), and mature love.
G.These two types are quite different from each other.

                                                          The Value of Tears
     Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you
embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when
you're not crying, they make a film over the eye's surface.   1   
     When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. "People worry
about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they'II never get it back. "     2    After
we cry , the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.
    Sometirnes people become much stressed and can't cry. Whatever emotion  they  are  feeling-shock ,
anger, fear , or sadness-is being held back.
      But everyone has the need to try. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often
consists of giving people permission to cry.   3   Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe , private  places  to  cry , like  under the  bedcovers or in the car.
     Crying is a way of reducing tension, but people don't like it when others cry because it makes them
tense.   4   And they'll do just about anything to make you stop.
     In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It's good not to cry during a tense
business discussion.   5   You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as
you Iike. It will help you feel better. "And,"  she adds, "once your tears have taken away the stress , you
can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem. "
     Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never
be afraid to cry yourself.
A. They too may be holding back a need to cry.
B. They cry for different reasons.
C. She gives crying exercises.
D. It contains a chemical against infection.
E. The fact is that no emotion lasts forever.
F. It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye.
G. But once you're safely behind closed doors,don't just cry.
