  We calculate cross sections of high energy electron inclusive scattering off
nuclear matter in a new and consistent formulation based on the Green's
function method with the Glauber approximation, which is an extension of our
previous work on the nuclear transparency in (e, e'p) reaction. The comparison
with other approaches is discussed. In this framework, we study the
finite-range effect of the nucleon-nucleon interaction in the final-state
interactions, and the effect of the nuclear short-range correlation. We propose
a zero-range approximation, which works well when correlation and finite
interaction-range effects are included. It greatly reduces the numerical work,
while maintaining a reasonable accuracy.
