Can Digital Textbooks Truly Replace the Print Kind?
A) The shortcomings of traditional print edition textbooks are obvious: For starters they're heavy, with the average physics
textbook weighing 3.6 pounds. They're also expensive, especially when you factor in the average college student's limited
budget, typically costing hundreds of dollars every semester. But the worst part is that print versions of textbooks are constantly
undergoing revisions. Many professors require that their students use only the latest versions in the classroom, essentially
rendering older texts unusable. For students, it means they're basically stuck with a four pound paperweight that they can't sell
back.
B) Which is why digital textbooks, if they live up to their promise, could help ease many of these shortcomings. But till
now, they've been something like a mirage(幻影)in the distance, more like a hazy (模糊的) dream than an actual reality.
Imagine the promise: Carrying all your textbooks in a 1.3 pound iPad? It sounds almost too good to be true. But there are a few
pilot schools already making the transition(过渡) over to digital books. Universities like Cornell and Brown have jumped
onboard. And one medical program at the University of California, Irvine, gave their entire class iPads with which to download
textbooks just last year.
C) But not all were eager to jump aboard. "People were tired of using the iPad textbook besides using it for reading," says
Kalpit Shah, who will be going into his second year at Irvine's medical program this fall. "'They weren't using it as a source of
communication because they couldn't read or write in it. So a third of the people in my program were using the iPad in class to
take notes, the other third were using laptops and the last third were using paper and new study behavior.
D) But a new application called Inkling might change all that. The company just released an updated version last week, and

directions. It's clear why this would be something a music major would love.
G) But the most exciting part about Inkling, to me, is its notation(批注)system. Here's how it works: When you purchase a
used print book, it comes with its previous owner's highlights and notes in the margins. It uses the reading (how much
experience you trust of someone who already went through the class to help improve your each notation is obviously up to you).
But with Inkling, you can highlight a piece of content and make notes. Here's where things get interesting, though: If a
particularly important passage is highlighted by multiple Inkling users, that information is stored on the cloud and is available
for anyone reading the same textbook to come across. That means users have access to notes from not only their classmates and

interactive ones like Inkling actually take off or not remains to be seen, and we probably won't have a definite answer for the
next few years. However, the solution to any problem begins with a step in a direction. And at least for now, that hazy mirage in

注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。46. The problem with Course Smarts current digital textbooks is that they are no more than print versions put on a screen.
47. Digital textbooks haven't fixed all the shortcomings of print books.
48. One of the challenges to build an interactive digital textbook from the ground up is that it takes a great deal of manpower to
put together each one.
49. Some students still use paper and pencil because they find it troublesome to take notes with an iPad.
50. According to the author, whether digital textbooks will catch on is still unclear.
51. Inkling's notation system is very exciting because one can share his learning experience with the best and brightest thinkers.
52. The biggest problem with traditional print textbooks is that they are not reused once a new edition comes out.
53. One additional advantage of the interactive digital textbook is that professors can give prompt feedback to students'
homework.
54. One problem for students to replace traditional textbooks with interactive digital ones is the high cost of the hardware.
55. Matt MacInnis describes the updated version of Inkling as a platform for building multimedia content.

said. "If you don't want one of those cupcakes, I'll take it. They sure look good." Tyler handed Ryan his cupcake. "Sure," he said.

C) The National School Lunch Act requires that school lunches go along with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans
developed by the government. Meals must contain a variety of foods with plenty of grains and at least one fruit or vegetable
each day. Foods must not contain too much sugar or salt. A hot lunch can contain up to 30% fat, but not more than 10% of its

Dare to Compare
D) Let's compare Rvan's and Tvler's meals to see which is healthier. Ryan's hot (without the cupcake from his friend) has
577 calories, 25 grams of total fat, and 12 grams of saturated fat. He had one serving of fruit, 26 grams of protein, and 483
milligrams of calcium. Ryan ate (39%) and saturated fat (19%) than the dietary guidelines recommend. However, more total
schools can, still meet the guidelines by having the numbers average out over a week of lunches. Tyler's lunch from home (this
includes both cupcakes) had 1 014 calories, 45 grams (40%) of total fat, and 10 Grams (9%) of saturated fat. He ate 21 grams of
protein and 155 milligrams of calcium, but no fruits or vegetables. Tyler's meal met the saturated fat guidelines, but had too
much total fat. Tyler ate more calories and total fat than Ryan did. Ryan ate more protein, calcium, and fruit than Tyler did.
Which meal would you say is the healthier choice?
La Carte Options
E)Federal standards and most school districts forbid selling food in the cafeteria that competes with the school lunch.
Many programs do, however, offer la carte choices for students who don't want the hot meal. Foods sold la carte separate from
the main meal and are priced individually. These foods do not to meet the same nutritional standards as the foods on the hot
lunch menu. Neither do the foods sold at a snack-bar or those foods available elsewhere in the school.
F)A study in one Texas school district compared the lunches of fourth graders who did not have food choices with those
of fifth graders who could choose either a standard lunch who did not have food or select from a snack- bar. The fourth graders
ate 25% more fruits and vegetables than the fifth graders.
G)Food sold as fund-raisers can also have an impact on school lunch. The money raised is important to provide needed
funds for many after-class activities. But the meal's overall nutritional quality usually down. Many of these foods are high in fat,
sugar, or both, and often come in extra-large portions. Fund-raisers rarely sell fruits and vegetables.
Choosing Wisely
H) School food-service programs are trying to please students, and still offer quality, nutritious meals at low cost. That task

isn't easy. One school district in New York decided to do something about it^ A student advisory board kept the food-service

candy.
I)You can make healthy meal choices at school even when not-so-healthy choices are available. You can be sure to get a
nutritious meal when you pick foods from the Food Guide Pyramid. For example, always drink milk or a calcium-rich juice for
lunch. Even chocolate milk is more nutritious than soda or a sports drink. Stay away from snack foods offered la carte. They
may fill you up now, but the ones that contain a lot of fat and sugar will slow you down later. Always eat the fruits and
vegetables offered at the meal. They help give you the energy and vitamins you need to get you through the rest of your school
day. Some people like to make fun of school lunches, but good nutrition is no laughing matter. Your school's hot lunch is based
on the Food Guide Pyramid, so it's full of nutrition. Give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.
It’s a Team Effort
J)Team Nutrition is a program that gets schools excited about healthy eating. Schools across the nation pick a team leader
who develops fun nutrition activities. The leader works with students, teachers, parents, food-service workers, and people from
the community. Activities can range from running a school health fair to planting a garden. At the Jordan Community School in
Chicago, Illinois, one group of fifth graders showed off their "pizza (比萨饼) garden" in a big, colorful poster showing
vegetarian pizzas. The students and food-service staff planted and took care of the vegetables that they would later use as
ingredients on their pizzas. The group started growing the plants in the school's cafeterias. Then they moved them outdoors to
the students' demonstration garden. This is just one way to get everyone involved in making school lunch healthy and fun. Team
up with your own group and see how creative you can get.
46. Foods provided la carte options in schools satisfy the needs of choosy students.
47. When Ryan saw Tyler he asked Tyler for a cupcake.
Jordan Community School students eat pizzas with vegetables planted and took care of in their pizza garden.
ing to a federal law, school lunches must comply with government-developed dietary guidelines.

54. Students are advised to stay away from snack foods offered la carte because their extra fat and sugar will make them slow
down.
55. Team Nutrition is a program that tries to engage everyone in making school lunch healthy and fun.
