The Library of Congress in Washington,
D.C., which houses the largest collection of
books in the world, is fighting a battle against
paper deterioration. The pages of old books,
often yellowed and torn, sometimes crumble
battle is the acidic paper that has been used for
making books since the nineteenth century.
Air pollution and moisture have added
to the problem. Strangely, the books that are
most in danger of destruction are not the oldest

books. The paper in books produced before the
last century was made from cotton and linen
rags, which are naturally low in acid. And the
Guttenberg Bible, printed five centuries ago,
was made of this calfskin, and is in remarkably
good shape. But in the nineteenth century, with
widespread literacy bringing a demand for a
cheaper and more plentiful supply of paper, the
industry began using chemically treated wood
pulp for making paper. It is the chemical in this
paper that is causing today’s problem.
This problem of paper deterioration is
one of global concern. France, Canada, and
Austria are all doing research into new methods
of deacidification. A new technology has been
developed recently, in fact, that allows for mass
deacidification of thousands of books at the
same time. It costs less than microfilming and
still preserves books in their original form. It is
hoped there will soon be treatment facilities all
over the world to preserve and deacidify library
book collections.

TEXT 2
A national political struggle is
continuing over the issue of protection for the
remnants of vast ancient forests that once
covered the northwestern areas of the United
States. These old forests, called “old growth,”
contain trees from 200 to 1,200 years old. There
are now about6 million acres of virgin forest in
Washington and Oregon, only about one-tenth
of what existed before the 1800s. This old
growth contains some of the most valuable
timber in the nation, but its economic worth is
also contained in its water, wildlife, scenery,
and recreational facilities.
Conservationists want the majority of
existing old growth protected from harvesting.
They emphasize the vital relationship between
old growth and the health of the forest’s
ecosystem. They cite studies that both downed
and standing old trees store and release
nutrients necessary to younger trees.
On the other hand, much of the
Northwest’s economy is developed around the
logging industry. Trees are cut down to make
wood products, and many mills are geared for
old-growth industry. In recent years, 500 acres
of old growth have been logged, including trees
up to 500 years old and eight feet in diameter.
Although the U.S. Forest Service wrestles with
the problem of how much of the forest to save,
the harvesting of timber continues. The district
office refuses to remove any of the old growth
from timber production. The struggle is
145
 MODUL PREDIKSI PKN STAN
continuing at the national level, with strong
proponents on both sides.

A. Ancient Forests of the Northwest
B. The U.S. Forest Service
C. The Harvesting of Old- Growth
Timber
D. The Wood-Based Economy of the
Northwest

would agree that
A. old-growth trees are not necessary
for the health of forest
B. fallen trees should not be taken
away
C. most of the old-growth trees do not
need protection
D. young trees should not be logged

A. Oregon and Washington

industry

Oregon

TEXT 3
As many as one thousand years ago in
the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of
North America were building with adobe – sun-
baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes
looked remarkably like modern apartment
house. Some were four stories high and
contained quarters for perhaps a thousand
people, along with storerooms for grain and
other goods. These building were usually put up
10 against cliffs, both to make construction easier
LKBB INDONESIA COLLEGE
and for defense against enemies. They were
really villages in themselves, as later Spanish
explorers must have realized since they called
them “pueblos,” which is Spanish for town.
The people of the pueblos raised what
are called “the three sisters” –corn, beans, and
squash. They made excellent pottery and wove
marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could
hold water. The Southwest has always been a
dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi
20 and Zuni brought water from streams to their
fields and gardens through irrigation ditches.
Water was so important that it played a major
role in their religion. They developed elaborate
ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.
The way of life of less-settled groups
was simpler and more strongly influenced by
nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and
Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands
between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific
30 Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small
animals such as rabbits and snakes. In the Far
North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted
seals, walruses, and the great whales. They lived
right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos
built of blocks of packed snow. When summer
came, they fished for salmon and hunted the
lordly caribou.
The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux
tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the
40 grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and
the Mississippi River. They hunted bison,
commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the
chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used
to make their clothing and the covering of their
tents and tipis.
