This week, we talk about getting an American education online. Finding the right online program requires research, just like a traditional education. Talking to advisers and recruiters can help.[29]Keep in mind, though, that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs. Avoid a diploma mill, also known as degree mills, which are nothing more than businesses. The education they offer is poor quality, if they even require any class work to get a degree.
    The Council on Higher Education Accreditation recognizes a group in Washington to accredit 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 the school is accredited. 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 the 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.[31]You need to be able to work without the supervision that you might find in a traditional class.
29. What might advisers do if you ask them for help in distance education?
30. What should you firstly do when choosing a distance learning program, according to Micheal Lambert?
31. According to the passage, what might be the difference between an online program and a traditional class?

选项 A、Consult advisers for recommendations.
B、Check the qualification of the school.
C、Make sure the school can offer you a degree.
D、Consider the disadvantage of the program.

答案 B

解析 推断题。美国高等教育认证理事会(CHEA)执行董事Micheal Lambert说,学生在申请远程教育时首先要做的事情(the first thing)就是去理事会网站查看所要申请的学校是否得到该理事会的认可(accredited),言外之意就是查看学校的资格认证,故答案为[B]。
