Answer:
If you are in the same chem textbook as I am, (Chemistry, Connections to Our Changing World, from 1997) then the answer can be found on pg. 195, a page before the aforementioned question.

It doesn't react with cold water, but it does react with hot water or steam. Calcium carbonate is found in chalk, marble, and limestone.
