A
There are many good online universities available．If you are considering this option for getting your degree, don’t forget to check out this gem．Rather than give the standard sales pitch I will list the top reasons that I chose Western Governor's University for my master's degree．
Lower tuition(学费)
The tuition is lower than comparable online schools．Each term is six months long, giving me more time to complete the requirements for the term．In addition，if I finish early and still have time left in my term, I can do a part-time job to earn enough money for me schooling. I find this option to be very cost-effective．
Flexible courses．
If I have learned enough either through life experience，on the job training，or in class，I can take the exam and skip the other course．For example，I learned a great deal about special education law from working in the field，attended conferences，and took classes for my second bachelor's degree．1 was able to take the test，and pass，thus finishing the class quickly and focusing on other areas where I needed more studying time．
Personal support
I have a mentor assigned to me．My mentor is my contact person for questions and support．I get calls on a regular basis．We talk about where I am in my studies，what my next steps are，and any question I may have．I also have the online Communities where I can go on the discussion with my schoolmates when I have questions．
Respected degree
I checked with the State Office of Education to find out if this was a good way to go. I learned that a degree from Western Governor's University Was a respected degree that is considered comparable to a degree from a traditional brick and mortar(灰泥)university．
I am nearly finished with my degree from Western Governor's University．I gain confidence in my abilities, and I am very happy with my decision．

Last spring my husband，Lawrence，and I agreed that it was time for us to move．Although we adored our home in the northern district of New York, all our children and grandchildren had moved to the West Coast．We needed to be near them．
But We didn’t want to sell our house to just any buyer．We had three requirements in mind．The first was to find someone who loved our place as much as we did-after all，We’d lived there for more than thirty years．The second was to find a buyer who would share our faith and not bargain with us over the price of me home．And lastly, since moving rates dropped in the fall，we didn’t want to move until mid-October．
In this market I found out there was little hope that We’d sell our place，let alone find that perfect buyer, but still, I hoped for all three things．Weeks went by with no takers．Finally our real estate(房地产)agent phoned in August. “I’ve found someone who’s indeed in love with your house．She's made a good offer．” He brought over some papers to sign and I made a note of the woman’s name．
Days later I was looking up a friend’s phone number in our church directory(电话薄)，running my finger down the long list of members．Suddenly I came across her name. Our buyer! “She loves our home and she’s even a member of our church，”I said to Lawrence． “This could be perfect．”
I practically held my breath for the next few days，the calls going back and forth to our agent. Finally he came by with the papers to sign．Pen in hand，he hesitated．
“This buyer has just one more requirement, "he said．
Oh，may no change happen，I thought．“What is it?”
“She can’t own the house until mid-October．”
“Mid-October? Perfect.” Those words sealed the deal．
41．Why didn’t the author and her husband move to West Coast until mid-October．
A．They had a lot of things to deal with．

More than l00，and possibly hundreds，of Antarctic icebergs are floating towards Now Zealand in a rare event which has prompted a shipping warning，officials said on Monday.
An Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist，said that th9 ice chunks(块)，spotted by satellite photography, had passed the Auckland Islands and were heading towards the main South Island，about 450 kilometers southeast of it．
Scientist Neal Young said more than 100 icebergs，some measuring more than 200 meters across，were seen in just one cluster(串)，indicating there could be hundreds more．He said they were the remains of a massive iceberg which split from the Antarctic as sea and air temperatures rise due to global warming．“All of these have come from a larger one that was probably 30 square kilometers in size when it left Antarctica，” Young told the reporter．“It’s done a long circuit around Antarctica and now the bigger parts of it al e breaking up and producing smaller ones”
He said large numbers of icebergs had not floated this close to New Zealand since 2006，when a number came within 25 kilometers of the coastline-the first such sighting since l931. “They're following the same tracks now up towards New．Zealand．Whether they make it up to the South Island or not is diffcu1t to tell，”Young said?
Maritime New Zealand spokesman Ross Henderson said that New Zealand has already issued coastal navigation warnings for the area in the Southern Ocean Where the icebergs have been seen．The icebergs are smaller parts of the giant chunks seen off Australia's Macquarie Island this month，including one estimated at two kilometers and another twice the size of Beijing’s “Bird's Nest” Olympic Stadium．
Young earlier said he expected to see more icebergs in the area if the Earth's temperature continues to increase．“If the current trends in global warming were to continue I would anticipate(预见)seeing more icebergs and the large ice shelves breaking up，”he said.

B．icebergs were over 25 kilometers from the South Bland in 2006
C．these icebergs are floating along almost the same coulee
D．floating icebergs were closest from the South Island in l 931

Thomas Adams first tried to change chicle(树胶)into rubber products，before making a chewing gum(口香糖)．Thomas Adams attempted to make toys，masks，rain boots，and bicycle tires out of the chicle from Mexican trees，but every experiment failed．Consequently Mr Thomas Adams intended to throw the remaining into the East River．
It happened that before this was done，Thomas Adams went into a drugstore where he saw a little girl come in to ask for a chewing gum for one penny．So an idea struck him that perhaps they could use the chicle he wanted to throw away as chewing gums．After the child had left the store，Mr. Thomas Adams asked the druggist what kind of chewing gum the little girl had bought．He was told that it was made of paraffin wax(固体石蜡)．When he asked the man if he would be willing to try an entirely different kind of gum，the druggist agreed．
When Mr. Thomas Adams arrived home，he spoke to his son，Tom Junior, about his idea．Tom Junior was very much impressed，and suggested that they make up a few boxes of chicle chewing g-am and give it a name and a label．Shortly after, he opened the world，s first chewing gum factory．It was made of pure chicle without any flavor.
