I use the same textbook.

The view range by default is at 7'-6", which puts it into the first floor. That is what you are currently seeing in your ceiling plan. Make sure nothing is selected (the book tells you to click Modify, I usually just hit Escape twice). Then you should be able to select Edit... next to View Range, then adjust the Cut plane to 6'-6". I was able to do it to your file so I am betting you will be able to as well!
