Santa Clara University student Christopher Paschal, 19, for example, appreciated the search function in his economics e-textbook, and said the included video,clips,offered “a new method of learning,” and got rid of “the,monotony,of endless pages of reading.”,Part AText,But finally, “I feel that I understand materials better in regular textbooks,” Paschal says. Why? For college students, its more difficult to look at a computer screen when youre tired, he says, and harder to,concentrate,when Facebook, YouTube and e-mail are just a click away.,Part AText,Though many of those problems are being or have been solved, some students arent quite ready to use the devices for academic purposes. And some educational experts suggest the choices offered by the new technology may be making it harder to learn rather than easier,.,Part AText,It may simply be that the technology is still unfamiliar. While e-readers have,taken off,in the leisure-reading market, publishers have been slower to,jump into,the education market. Reasons are different but one challenge for publishers is that reading for the purpose of gaining knowledge is more,complex,than reading for pleasure.,Part AText,“Usually in a novel youre going through it from start to finish. In a textbook youre constantly,flipping,back and forth,.,Youre all over the book a lot more often,” says Matt Lilek, 22,a computer science major at Joliet Junior College in Illinois.,Part AText,Even so, expectations remain high for e-reader technology on campuses. Someuniversities plan to give iPads to freshmen. At a recent ceremony, each member of the UC Irvine School of Medicines incoming class received not only the traditional white coat, but also a new iPad, pre-loaded with everything necessary for the first year of course work.,Part AText,Scores of others, including Reed College andNorth Carolina State University, plan to offer opportunities for students to,test-drive,iPads. And two-thirds of campus technology chiefs,predicted,last fall that e-books will become an “important,platform,for instructional resources” within five years, according to the Campus Computing Project.,Part AText,Publishers, meanwhile, have big ideas for student learning. “Thats the great promise,” says Don Kilburn, president of Pearson Learning,Solutions, a publisher of education materials,.,Part AText,More faults are perhaps,inevitable,. But the technological developments “represent very real opportunity to remake education for the better,” says Kaplans Olson. “,The possibility for the textbook to come alive with interactivity will make the next several years of e-book innovation interesting to watch,.”,(450 words,),Part AText,大学生使用苹果平板电脑、电子书能学好吗？,与传统的教材相比，苹果平板电脑,(iPad),及其他数码阅读器从长远来看可能会节约教材成本，为学生提供更多更好更快捷的信息，还可以减轻学生的背包重量,这点也是不小的功劳。,Part AText,Translation,数字化学习有很多令人喜爱之处。 比如，圣塔克拉拉大学的一位,19,岁大学生克里斯多夫,帕斯夏就很欣赏他的经济学电子课本的搜索功能，他还说里面的视频剪辑提供了“一种新的学习方法”，而且避免了“逐页文字阅读的单调性”。,.,Part AText,Translation,.,但最后他又说：“我觉得读传统教材会理解得更好,.”,为什么呢？ 对于大学生来说，疲惫的时候看电脑屏幕是困难的，而且，看脸谱网,(Facebook),、视频网,(YouTube),和电子邮件只是弹指一键的事，因此也很难专注。,Part AText,Translation,Part AText,translation,尽管很多问题正在或已经解决，一些学生还没完全准备好将这些设备用于学习。有些教育专家认为这种新技术带来的选择也许会使学习变得更难而非更易。,Part AText,Translation,原因可能就是人们对这技术不熟悉，尚未普及。电子阅读器在休闲阅读市场已经流行起来，而出版商进入教育市场的脚步却还很慢。原因各种各样，但出版商面临的一个挑战就是，学习型阅读比娱乐型阅读要难。,.,Part AText,Translation,.,“通常，读小说可以一口气从头读到尾。看教材则要不断地翻前翻后，而且要翻很多次。”,22,岁的马特,利雷特说道,.,他是位于伊利诺斯州的乔利埃特初级学院的一名计算机科学专业生。,Part AText,Translation,即便如此，人们对于电子阅览技术应用于大学的期望仍然很高。有些大学打算给大一新生发放,iPad,。加州大学欧文分校医学院的新生在近期的开学典礼上，不但领了传统的白色衣袍，还领了,iPad,，里面已预先载入了第一年课程学习所需的资料。,Part AText,Translation,Part AText,translation,包括里德学院和北卡罗来纳州大学在内的其他几十所大学也计划让学生体验一下,iPad,。根据信息化校园计划，三分之二的大学里的技术主管去年秋季预言说，电子读物在,5,年之内会成为“一个重要的教学资源平台”。,Part AText,Translation,Part AText,translation,出版商们对于学生的学习也动了大念头呢。 “那个发展前景很好。” 教育资料出版社,皮尔森学习方案集团的董事长唐,桥本说。,Part AText,Translation,Part AText,translation,也许不可避免地会出现更多缺陷，但是技术发展“提供了一次真正改善教育的机会”，卡普兰,奥尔森说，“未来几年，电子教科书可能会变得活灵活现，且具备互动性，非常值得关注。”,Part AText,Translation,device,n. a piece of equipment that has been designed to do a particular job,e.g. My father has fitted a,device,to his car which opens the garage door automatically.,父亲在车上装了一个能自动开启车库门的装置。,My friend invented a,device,that automatically closes windows when it rains.,我朋友发明一种装置，可以使窗户在下雨时自动关闭。,Part AText,Language Points,over a long period of time,e.g.,In the short term we expected to lose money on this book, but,in the long term,we hope to make profits.,短期来说，我们在这本书上可能要赔钱，但长远来说我们有 希望赚大钱。,We should cut our expense,in the long term,.,我们必须长期削减开支。,Part AText,Language Points,in the long term,v. to reduce the amount of work, debt, worry, etc. that somebody has;
