2018年成人学位英语考试马上开始，小编为各位参加成人学位英语考试的考生整理了一些阅读理解的练习，各位考生赶紧练起来吧！
Today’s students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations(革草)are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient to get on with life.
The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship(企业家才能) education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.
A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and-four-year campuses--up from just 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only in business schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts. "Our interest is the programs," she says. "We need to spread out from the business school.”
Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory, create wearable technologies.
The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration. "I just don’t think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national need," says Daniel S. Greenberg, author of Science for sale: the perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.
Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College’s president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is "an age-old argument".
