Keukenhof is one of the world's largest flower gardens, situated in South Holland, Netherlands. It is also
known as the Garden of Europe with flowers in all colours and shapes as far as the eye can see. In the spring,
more than 7 million flower bulbs are in full bloom, among more than 800 different sorts of tulips, the flower that
has made the Netherlands famous the world over. In addition to its 32 acres of flowers beds, Keukenhof also
offers unique works of art, events, and flower shows.

Keukenhof has totally been dedicated to the theme of Flower Power. The most beautiful spring park in
the world with its sea of flowers in all shades of the rainbow will put you in a romantic spring mood and transport
you right back to the height of the 70’s. Historically, the park was designed as an ornamental garden for Castle
Keukenhof at the height of the Romantic period in 1857. Since 1950, millions of tulips have flowered in the
atmospheric garden surrounding the central pond with its gorgeous vistas and centuries-old beech trees, a sight
that has proven an unforgettable experience for generations of visitors.

Countless generations have made memories for life here among the millions of flowers: with a romantic
stroll through the tulip garden, or even a proposal in the Cupid Garden. Very fitting, then, that the various flower
shows also have romance as their central theme. Particularly the rose show will be bigger than ever and fully
focus on the red rose, the age-old symbol of true love. Keukenhof even has a wonderful tulip mosaic planned in
2019, featuring 50,000 bulbs set up in spectacular patterns. Keukenhof is also great for kids. Visitors find a
children's farm, a maze, a playground, and a special treasure hunt that the youngest visitors can go on.
Additionally, Keukenhof offers a range of educational and informative activities throughout the park.

answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

Entrepreneurship education seeks to provide students with the knowledge, skills and motivation to
encourage entrepreneurial success in a variety of settings. Variations of entrepreneurship education are offered
at all levels of schooling from primary or secondary schools through graduate university programs.
Entrepreneurship education focuses on the development of skills or attributes that enable the realization of
opportunity, where management education is focused on the best way to operate existing hierarchies. Both
approaches share an interest in achieving "profit" in some form.

The most popular one is regular entrepreneurship: opening a new organization, e.g. starting a new
business. The vast majority of programs on university level teach entrepreneurship in a similar way to other
business degrees. However, the UK Higher Education system makes distinction between the creativity and
innovation aspects, which it sees as a precursor to new venture development. Here Enterprise is defined as an
ability to develop multiple ideas and opportunities that can be made real, and entrepreneurship is defined as the
development of business acumen that can realise the full potential. This enables any discipline that is subject to
the UK Higher Education's guidance to offer subject-based entrepreneurial curriculum. It set out a series of
learning outcomes that address the need for European-wide perspectives on how such learning should be
evaluated, and highlight the need for teacher development at all levels.

Best practice guidance for schools and teachers is also available via the Directorate-General for Enterprise
and Industry's Entrepreneurship 2020 Unit. An alternative approach is action-based entrepreneurship education
programs. In these programs the students launch a new business as an integral part of the learning process.
Another approach is to promote innovation or introduce new products or services or markets in existing firms.
This approach is called corporate entrepreneurship or Intrapreneurship, and was made popular by author Gifford
Pinchot in his book of the same name. Newer research indicates that clustering is now a driving factor. Clustering
occurs when a group of employees breaks off from the parent company to found a new company but continues
to do business with the parent.

A recent approach involves creating charitable organizations which are designed to be selfsupporting in
addition to doing their good works. This is usually called social entrepreneurship or social venturing. Even a
version of public sector entrepreneurship has come into being in governments, with an increased focus on
innovation and customer service. Entrepreneurship is also being developed as a way of developing skills such as
risk-taking and problem solving that facilitate achievement of life goals and in education.

Question 35: What does the passage mainly discuss?
