Write an article that explains to tourists the significance of Machu Picchu as a travel destination. Your articles must be based with ideas and information that can be found in the "Machu Picchu" passage set

Answer:

Nestled between the Andes and Amazon Basin is a historical site like no other.  Built in the 15th century and conquered by the Spaniards in the 16th century  Machu Picchu was trapped in time until the early 1900s, when it was discovered  again. Sitting at more than 7,800 feet above sea level it is surrounded by mountain  slopes, peaks and valleys. Machu Picchu is the last known Inca stronghold, and it  provides a glimpse of the life many Inca’s experienced during the 15th century. The  breath-taking cultural site is one of the most signifigant and prized travel  destinations in the world.  The construction of Machu Picchu was set out to a rigorous plan and according  to Historic Santuary of Machu Picchu by UNESCO it “comprises one of the most  spectacular creations of the Inca empire.” Several individual quarters may be  noted in the ruins including hanging gardens and a ‘royal’ quarter. The building  layouts of Machu Picchu provide a glimpse for visitors today to see what the  construction and architecture was like in the 15th century Inca empire. All of its  giant walls, terraces, and ramps seem to be cut naturally from rock escarpments.  The Stones of Machu Picchu by Duane Damon stated that the larger stones of the  granite building blocks appeared to weigh 10-15 tons! Every stone was also  carefully cut and “exquisitely fitted together.” The use of natural raw materials to  provide architecture is said to be one of the world’s greatest examples. It’s no  wonder why all kinds of people flock to Machu Picchu to examine the spectacular  architecture.

The Stones of Machu Picchu claims that Machu Picchu is one of the world’s  great archaeological wonders. Not only does it contain spectacular architecture  but the natural setting of Machu Picchu also encompasses its unique enviromental  habitats for plenty of unique animal species and rich diversity of flora and fauna.

Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu by UNESCO says Machu Picchu is in some of

the scenically most attractive mountainous territory of the Peruvian Andes. The

surrounding valleys have cultivated exceptionally well for over 1,000 years and

some of the habitats give homes to endangered species. Several of them include

the spectacled bear, the dwarf brocket, and the Andean condor. When the ruins

were first discovered again in 1911 by Hiram Bingham he described them as

“covered with trees and moss, the growth of centuries”, as told by Duane Damon

in The Stones of Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu also contains many historical artifacts. Inca graves, stone dishes

and several bronze implements were discovered, as stated in The Stones of Mach

Picchu. The site contains many major historical and cultural inflences and some of

the people who live around Machu Picchu continue a way of life that resemble their

Inca ancestors, being based on potatoes, maize, and llamas. Although Machu

Picchu has stood for a long time, safety and sanitary issues for travelers and

visitors have started to emerge. However, don’t fret because high quality and new

long-term solutions are being built for the natural wonders. Machu Picchu is a very

unique sight not only for its educational value, but also for its condition.

Machu Picchu is a very signifigant travel destination for many reasons which

include its historical signifigance, amazing structures, and spectacular

enviromental sights. Located in a breathtaking natural setting, the city’s beauty

comes from its amazing architecture and mountaintop views. Visitors from all over

the world flock to the “city of the clouds” every year to get a glimpse of history

uncovered. They look, refect and wonder about many of the unanswered questions

surrounding Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu gives the modern generations a look

back to a time like no other and the experience is sure to last a lifetime.

Which evidence from "The Rosetta Stone” supports the claim that Thomas Young played a key role in helping to decipher the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone?

Unfortunately, Young abandoned his research, believing that the letters in the cartouche were just an exception . . .
Young used an old code breaker's technique of looking for a crib, or a word that can be identified in the text.
Champollion deciphered the cartouche by identifying hieroglyphs translated by Young, and he used his knowledge of Coptic to discover that it belonged to the pharaoh Ramses.
Young's results were published and fell into the hands of a talented linguist, Jean-Francois Champollion.

American Sign Language


by Maria Baraza


1


You've probably seen it before. Someone is giving a speech, and another person stands near the speaker, mouthing the speaker's words for people who can read lips. In a graceful dance, his or her arms and hands visually repeat the speaker's words in signs. If the speech is broadcast on television, the signer is sometimes shown in a window at the corner of the screen. Audience members who are hard of hearing or deaf can understand the speech through the signs.


2


Deaf or hard-of-hearing people could also read the text of the speech, but it might not be available in writing. Besides, signing offers many advantages that reading cannot. Seeing the speaker, even if his or her words cannot be heard, can be important. The audience can observe the speaker's facial expressions and body language, which can change the meaning of the spoken words. The signer will often attempt to convey the speaker's tone or precise meaning with facial expressions that accompany the signs. For instance, when the speaker asks a question instead of making a statement, signers will raise their eyebrows, widen their eyes, and tilt their bodies forward to convey that what they are signing is a question.

Many different sign languages are used around the world. In the United States, most people use a system called American Sign Language (ASL). ASL is a complex, complete language, just like spoken English. ASL even has different "pronunciations" for certain words in different regions of the country. In ASL, some signs represent specific words. Touching one's fingers to the brim of an imaginary cap means "man." The sign was created when most men wore hats and would tip their hats when greeting someone.

4


However, most of ASL is based more on ideas than on words. For example, a person might hold both thumbs and index fingers at right angles and move both hands and arms apart. The person is indicating "big" or "large." The same sign would be used for a big man, a large amount of money, or a serious problem. When a person strokes an imaginary beard by moving a loose fist down from the chin, he or she is indicating "old." That same sign could describe an elderly person, an old car, or a story from long ago.

5


Many people believe in "total communication," which means saying words and signing them at the same time. A person might have only partial hearing loss, so he or she could hear some of the sounds the speaker makes. The speaker's lip movements, voice, signs, and facial expressions are like pieces of a puzzle. The theory is that total communication provides every possible means to get an idea across.


6


Not every word or idea in English has a sign. Proper names and other words that have no signs are often spelled out with the sign alphabet. Sometimes the letters of the sign alphabet are used as words. For example, the sign for T and the sign for V together mean "television." Just like "TV" spoken aloud, the two sign letters indicate the word. In other cases, the full name of a person or thing is spelled out because there is no simple way to communicate it. If a person's name is Tina, she could use the signs for T-I-N-A.


7


If you are not hard of hearing, why would you bother to learn sign language? For one thing, it will allow you to communicate with people who are hard of hearing or deaf. You can translate for them, helping them to understand others and be understood. Many people choose to make ASL translation their career. On an individual level, learning ASL will also help in forming friendships with deaf or hard-of-hearing people.


8


Sign language can be useful for other reasons, even among hearing people. You might be too far away to hear someone, but not too far away to see the person. A couple of gestures can send an important message. Suppose you are in a situation in which you couldn't speak out loud, like in a theater. You might want to send a message to a friend who is not right next to you. It would be rude to shout while the performance is going on, but you could always send a sign message. Sign language can benefit people who are deaf, partially deaf, or hearing.




Which of these sentences could be added to paragraph 7 to better conclude the paragraph?

A.
Translating for the deaf and hard of hearing can be a rewarding experience.

B.
There is growing demand for translators in business and education.

C.
American Sign Language will also let you communicate with people who can hear.

D.
American Sign Language can help you connect with people you may have been unable to before.
