teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family.
California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks. Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves.
Susan Martimo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expect widespread use right away. He best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them, but only in addition to their traditional books. School administrators point out that the texts may be free online, but students need a way to access them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader. Schools could print out copies, but that would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively. 46.

Part V Translation (30 minutes, 10 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.
Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don't hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you're taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervousness.
The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous emotion, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who'll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.
Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is
easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing you're alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least it's necessary until you've reached the point where you quite naturally and unconsciously \ Part Ⅵ Writing（30 minutes, 15 points）

的确如此，今天如果你参加一个演讲班，你不会听到多少关于语法与词汇方面的指导。相反，老师会告诉你怎样克服害怕或局促不安，怎样在没有手稿的情况下演讲，怎样向你面前活生生的观众靠拢。演讲其实就是克服长时间紧张情绪的问题。
这也正是写作的真谛。这一切的关键就在于克服你的紧张情绪，越过横在你和你未来的读者之间的无形的障碍。你必须学会坐在打字机前面，向另一端的读者靠拢。
当然，演讲中观众就近在眼前，问题会容易一些。你可以看着他们，直接对着他们说话。在写作时，你却是一个人。这需要你努力用你的经验或想象力去抓住另一个人并把你的想法告诉他或她。这种努力是必要的，至少在你可以十分自然地、无意识地“在纸上说话”之前是必要的。 Part Ⅵ
Create a Green Campus
It is of great importance to make and maintain a green campus in our university or college. Obviously, a growing number of people are beginning to realize that it is our duty to do that in the present days, since the concept of “a green world” has become the focus of the society.
The idea of “a green campus” is beyond a green environment. To begin with, the development on the campus is to be sustainable and recyclable. Some of the authorities' budget should be on how to reduce of the waste. What's more, we'd better be aware of the seriousness of pollution around us. Thus the idea of environmental protection may
become a common occurrence in our daily life.
It is necessary that effective actions should be taken to protect our campus from waste and pollution, and hence these activities are to play an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. Certainly, there is little doubt that further consideration must be paid to our green campuses.
