National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks
and course materials.
The association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now just make up
2%～3% of sales. But he says that is expected to reach 10%～15% by 2012.
Online versions(版本) are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks. An
etextbook can cost half the price of a new print textbook.But students usually lose access to them
after the end of the term.And the books cannot be placed on more than one device(设备), so they
are not easy to share.
So what do students think of etextbooks?Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University
wanted to find it out.Earlier this year they tested them with 500 students in 20 classes.
The university is unusual.It provides laptop computers for all 7,000 of its fulltime students.It does
not require students to buy their textbooks either.They rent them to save money.The school aims to
save even more by moving to etextbooks.
The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy.They
liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks.And 56% said they were better able to find information.
But most found that using etextbooks did not change their study habits.And 60% felt they read
more when they were reading on paper.In all, almost half the students said they still liked physical
textbooks better.
But the survey found that cost could be a big influence.55% said they would choose etextbooks
if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase.
Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest
Missouri State University.He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the etextbooks now
available because the majority are not interactive(交互式的).
He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video, activities, games and other
ways to interact with the information.The technology is improving.But for now, most of the books
are just words on a screen.
1. Etextbooks are not better than paper books in that________.
A. they cost more money
B. they"re difficult to carry
C. they"re not convenient to share
D. they can"t be downloaded from the Internet
2. How many surveyed students think paper books make better reading?
A. 60%.
B. 56%.
C. 55%.
D. 50%.
3. It can be inferred from the text that in the future________.
A. digital books will be more popular
B. the digital books available need improvement
C. free digital books are available online
D. digital books will replace print textbooks
Today, innovations(创新) to make our lives more eco-friendly can be found everywhere. There are
energy-efficient automobiles, eco-friendly light bulbs, and clothes made by fashion designers using
sustainable(可持续的) environmental practices. Industries around the world have also begun to take a
serious look at how their operations affect the local and global environment.
The university of Colorado has been named one of the top green colleges and universities in the United States. This university was one of the first to start a student-led recycling program in the 1970s and today
supplies students with reusable shopping bags to use both on and off campus. The entire University of
Colorado also uses low flow water fixtures(设备) and has reduced water usage by 40 percent since 2002.
When it comes to going green, Warren Wilson College has been recognized in many places. The
Sierra Club and The Princeton Review have named the college as one of America"s greenest colleges and universities, while the school has also received the Outstanding College Recycling Award from the
Carolina Recycling Association, as well as awards from the Association for the Advancement of
Sustainability in Higher Education(AASHE). For a small college, Warren Wilson has made enormous
efforts to be an eco-friendly campus since its beginning, and today owns a campus farm, a seeding
program, and an extensive recycling program. Warren Wilson was also the first College to have an LEED platinum certified(白金认证的) residence hall, and its building services department is also 100 percent
GreenSeal certified. According to College Stats, Warren Wilson College is one of the first institutions in the United States to be almost completely self-sufficient(自给自足的) while also engaging students to
incorporate sustainability into all academic programs.
Going green efforts at Oberlin College have not gone unnoticed. Oberlin College spends 22 percent of
its food budget on buying food from local farmers, with most of the food raised or harvested with organic
and sustainable practices. Oberlin has also stopped selling bottled water on campus and offers discounts to students who use their own storage containers when purchasing beverages and food items. Among
Oberlin"s other eco-friendly accomplishments is a green graduation ceremony, which includes programs
printed on 100 percent recycled paper.

question I get asked the most is "Will the kids be alright?" It"s made me realize that we tend to look at the
glass half-empty rather than half-filled when it comes to mixing work and family. We forget about all the
benefits that we bring to our children when we work - and I"m not talking about the obvious financial
benefits, although these of course shouldn"t be taken for granted.
About a year ago I remember getting a call from the school just as I was pulling up to the house after
having driven 20 minutes to the school and 20 minutes back. "Mrs. Brown Quinn, your son asked us to
call. He forgot his sports clothes. Can you come back to the school and drop them off?" I was exasperated(恼火)! I had already spent 40 minutes in aggressive weekday morning traffic. I replied, "Sorry, I"m
working at the moment. I"m afraid my son needs to learn to be organized."
Being a good parent requires delivering tough love sometimes. Kids need to learn to be independent.
It can be a cruel and competitive world out there. Seeking interests, including business, outside of your
kids, can give you that extra idea that you need not care for your kids with attention. This benefit of
working isn"t always immediately evident.
It wasn"t until our daughter went away to college that she realized why we had raised her in the way
that we did. "Mom, I can"t believe how so many of my friends struggle to manage things on their own.
They are constantly calling their parents for help." You"ll love that moment! After all those years of
complaining about why you don"t do this or why you don"t give them that, your kids realize that tough
love has made them better people.

D. disappointed

March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making.For
years March (possibly the wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.
He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning: "Experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained." The problem is that learning from experience involves (涉及) serious complications(复杂化), ones that are part of the nature of experience
itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.
In one interesting part of the book，for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as
the most effective way of experiential learning.In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things.He says "The more accurately(精确地) reality is presented, the less understandable the story, and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is."
Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, March is also a poet, and his gift shines through in
the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses.Though the book is short, it is demanding:
Don"
t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons.Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.
1. According to the text, James March is _____.
A. a poet who uses experience in his writing
B. a teacher who teaches story writing in university
C. a researcher who studies the way humans think and act
D. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions
2. According to James March, experience _____.
A. is overvalued
B. is easy to explain
C. should be actively sought
D. should be highly respected
3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Experience makes stories more accurate.
B. Stories made interesting fail to full
y present the truth.C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.
D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.
4. What"s the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a book.
B. To describe a researcher.
C. To explain
experiential learning.D. To discuss organizational decision making.
ough global warming may have made our climate more mild，many animals are still hibernating(冬眠). It"s too bad that humans can"t hibernate.In fact, as a
species, we almost did.
Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semistate of human hibernation.So writes
Graham Robb, a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants.As soon as the weather turned cold, people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end.
In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radio"s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep
has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial (人造的 )lighting and the electric bulb.
When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first
sleep”, which was not clarified, though.Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in
separate periods.The business of eight hours" uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention.
In the past, without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight.The late night period was known as “The Watch”. It was
when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or
visited family and neighbours.
According to some sleep researchers, a short period of insomnia(失眠)at midnight is not a disorder.It
is normal.Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning.This period can be an extraordinarily
creative time for some people.The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.
Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in.Medical science doesn"t help much in this case.It offers us medicines for a full night"s continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however,
according to Warren"s theory, it is really the opposite of what we need.
1．The example of the French peasants shows the fact that_____ .
A．people might become lazy as a result of too much sleep
B．there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habits
C．people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weather
D．winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end
2．The late night was called “The Watch” because it was a time for people_____.
A．to set traps to catch animals
B．to wake up their family and neighbours
C．to remind others of the time
D．to guard against possible dangers
3．What does the author advise people to do?
A．Sle
ep in the way animals do.B．Consult a doctor if they can"t sleep.
C．Follow their natural sleep rhythm.
D．Keep to the eighthour sleep pattern.
4．What is the author"s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To give a prescription for insomnia.
B．To urge people to sleep less.
C．To analyze the sleep pattern of modern people.
D．To throw new light on human sleep.
