British universities can be depressing. The teachers complain about their pay and students worry they will end up frying burgers or jobless. Perhaps they should try visiting McDonald’s University in London’s East Finchley. Students are often"rough and ready",with poor qualifications and low self-esteem. But ambition-igniting murals display the ladder of opportunity that leads from the grill to the corner office(McDonald’s chief executives have always started at the bottom). A map of the world shows the seven counterpart universities.
Cabinets display trophies such as the Sunday Times award for being one of Britain’s best 25 employers. McDonald is one of Britain’s biggest trainers. It gets about 1 million applicants, accepting only one in 15, and spends £40 million($61 million)a year on training. The Finchley campus, opened by Margaret Thatcher, then the local MP, in 1989, is one of the biggest training centres in Europe—many of the classrooms are equipped with booths for interpreters. It is part of a bigger system. An employee’s web-portal, our lounge, provides training as well as details about that day’ s shifts, and allows employees to compete against each other in work-related video games.
The focus is on practicalities. A retired policeman conducts a fast-paced class on conflict management. He shows a video of a woman driven madly by the fact that you cannot get chicken McNuggets at breakfast time. He asks the class if they have ever had a difficult customer, and every hand goes up. Students are then urged to share their advice.
Self-esteem and self-management are on the syllabus, too. Steven Covey’s "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People "is a popular test. A year-long apprenticeship program emphasizing English and maths leads to a nationally recognized qualification. Mcdonald’s has paid for almost 100 people to get degrees from Manchester Metropolitan university.
The company professes to be
unfazed
by the fact that many alumni will end up working elsewhere. It needs to train people who might be managing a business with a £5 million turnover by their mid-20s. It also needs to satisfy the company’s appetite for senior managers, one of whom will eventually control the entire global McDonald’ s empire.
What make McDonald’s university distinguishable from other British universities?
选项
A、The degree it offers to all of its graduates.
B、The job prospects it opens up for its students.
C、The managerial positions it provides for its students.
D、The facilities and equipment it provides for its students.
答案
B
解析
结合最后一段内容“许多学员在毕业后并不任职于麦当劳,而这家快餐业巨头宣称并不为此感到烦恼。麦当劳需要培养出在二十五六岁就能够掌管500万英磅营业额业务的管理人员。同样,麦当劳汉堡大学更需要培养出一批高级经理储备,以满足公司的发展需要。未来这些高级经理中终将有人来执掌整个麦当劳餐饮帝国。”纵观全文,可得出使麦当劳大学区别于其他大学的原因是它开辟了学生的就业前景,故选B。
