Having just quit a highly moneymaking job with tech giant Microsoft in the United States,where he’d made millions working as a program manager,Patrick Awuah would wake up once in a while wondering if he’d done the right thing.
What Awuah wanted was to create a university in his native Ghana.a state-of-the-art education centre that would help educate the country’s next generation of leaders.Awuah moved with his family back to Ghana.There,he invested his own money and with the help of other donors he founded Ashesi University.
“Africa needs to have a renaissance(复兴),” says Awuah as he explained what drove him to take the risky decision.“The world needs to change in this way and I strongly believe that people like me need to be part of the solution;I need to be really actively involved in helping to drive this change in Africa‘‘
Located about an hour's drive from the capital Accra,Ashesi,which appropriately translates to “beginning,” is the first Ghanaian university to combine technical majors with a liberal arts approach.Its campus,set on 100 acres in a town called Berekuso,was designed to be inspiring for the more than 500 young Ghanaians studying there.
“So when I look at universities I see Africa fast—forward 30 years.When this 20-year-old is now in his or her 50s,that person is going to be a leader.”
Today Ashesi,which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year,offers degrees in business,information systems and computer science.There are plans to offer engineering and economics majors in the near future.The school’s graduation rate is between 70%and 90%,according to Awuah.
In our last freshman class,50% of the students paid full tuition(学费),25%were on full scholarships and 25%on partial scholarships ,”he said.“The reason why variety is so important is that the most important conversation on campus is a conversation about the good society—what is the good society we would like to see in Africa? That conversation is a lot more interesting if you have variety in the classroom,”adds Awuah.

最佳答案
(答案→)C 解析:试题分析:文章介绍了帕特里克·瓦放弃微软年薪百万的工作,为了非洲发展,为了培养领导人才,在其他捐助者帮助下在家乡加纳创立了阿什西大学。文章同时也介绍了大学的位置、学位设置以及收费标准等内容。【小题1】推理题:根据文章第五段“‘So when I look at universities I see Africa fast—forward 30 years.When this 20-year-old is now in his or her 50s,that person is going to be a leader.’”所以当我看着大学时我就看到了向前快速发展30年的非洲。当这些20岁的年轻人到他或她50岁时,这个人会成为领导者。故选C。【小题2】推理题:根据第一段内容可知帕特里克·瓦辞去了微软公司年薪百万的项目经理工作,有时睡醒时他会想这个决定是否正确。由此可知有时他也在怀疑自己的决定是否正确。故选B。【小题3】细节题:根据文章第六段中“which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year,”今年是学校十周年庆典。由此可知学校成立了十年了。故选A。【小题4】细节题:根据第六段中“offers degrees in business,information systems and computer science.”提供商学、信息系统和计算机科技三个学位,因此A错误;根据第一段中“where he’d made millions working as a program manager”在那他是一个年薪百万的项目经理。故选B正确;在最后一段中“25%were on full scholarships ”百分之二十五的学生享受全额奖学金,因此C错误;根据第二段最后一句“he invested his own money and with the help of other donors he founded Ashesi University.”他用自己的钱和捐助者的钱创立了阿什西大学,因此D错误。故选B。考点:考查教育类阅读
