问题 请阅读短文，完成第小题。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 comer 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's is one of Britain's biggest trainers. It gets about 1 million applicants a year, accepting only one in 15, and spends ~40m($61m) 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 mad 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 100iople 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 Ihtir mid-2Os. It also needs to satisfy the company's appetite for senior managers, one of whom will eventually control the entire global McDonald's empire.For which of the following reasons did the writer suggest that people visit McDonald's university.?查看材料
选项 A．Both the teachers and students there are depressed.B．The school won a big award from the Sunday Times.C．The school did extremely well in motivating its students.D．The students there had poor qualifications and low self-esteem.
答案C
解析A项，老师和学生都是沮丧的，与原文意思不符。B项，这个学校在《星期日泰晤土报》赢了大奖，但这不是作者建议参观麦当劳大学的直接原因。D项，学校的学生资历平庸、缺乏自尊，文中虽有提及，但也不是作者建议参观的原因。C项，学校在鼓励学生方面做得很好。文中第一段第四、五句“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)”指出麦当劳大学招收的学生也经常“马马虎虎”，而且资历平庸、缺乏自尊，但学校里的壁画张贴着从烤架操作工到办公室高管之间一级级的跃升机会(麦当劳的主管往往都是从基层一点点干起的)，让人燃起勃勃雄心，这说明作者建议参观麦当劳大学的原因是学校在鼓励学生方面做得很好。
