(UEFS - 2014 - Meio do ano) A team of Peruvian archaeologists has found a new trail leading to the Machu Picchu complex in Cusco, Peru even if much of the road is still heavily covered by thick vegetation. The discovery was announced by [5] the director of the Archaeological Park of Machu Picchu, Fernando Astete. The new road, almost a mile long, leads to the Wayraqtambo area located in the rear section of the citadel. A team of workers are still on site cleaning the path, [10] whose width varies between 3.9 and 4.5 feet, to clean the road of brushes and trees. At the moment, only intermittent retaining walls, up to 10 feet high, holding back Machu Picchu mountain can be seen. We dont know yet exactly how long or how tall the tunnel is, [15] Astete told Fox News Latino, explaining that much excavation needs to be done. The tunnel was built after 20 feet of earth and rock collapsed over the road, he added. [The Incas] had to break up all those rocks to construct the tunnel. [20] The road includes a tunnelaround 15 feet long and as much as 12 feet highbuilt with the rocks typical of Inca architecture. It is one of the finest examples of Inca engineering, Astete has said. Astete told FNL that the newly-discovered road [25] probably predates Machu Picchu itself, which was built at the height of the Inca Empire, around 1450, and was unknown to the outside world before being discovered in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. While Machu Picchus original purpose is still [30] unknown, one of the most popular theories about the site is that it was the royal retreat of the 15th-century Inca Emperor Pachacuti. According to a National Geographic report published in 2011, this idea maintains that Machu Picchu was a place for Pachacuti and his [35] royal court to relax, hunt, and entertain guests. Machu Picchu, which covers 32,592 hectares of mountain slopes, peaks and valleys, was declared one of UNESCOs World Heritage Sites in 1983. New Trail to Machu Picchu.

(UEFS - 2014/2) TEXTO: Chinas one-child policy Chinas top legislature approved resolutions to officially amend its controversial one-child policy. The changes to the one-child policy will mean couples will be allowed to have two children if one of the parents was 5 an only child, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. Currently, both parents must be sole children to be eligible for a second child. The one-child policy, which started in the 1970s, is believed to have prevented some 400 million births, 10 according to Xinhua. Although the policy has been applauded by many for slowing down Chinas rapid population growth, it has also been widely criticized for resulting in forced abortions and hefty fines for families. Some critics say the law hurts Chinas elderly, who 15 typically rely on their children for support in old age, and even constrains economic growth as the working-age population begins to decline. Since the 1990s, the birth rate has declined, with Chinese women giving birth to an average of 1.4 to 1.6 children. 20 The worlds most populous nation will soon have too few people or, rather, too few of the right kind of people. More than three decades of governmentmandated family planning have succeeded beyond the architects most grandiose dreams. Add to that the natural 25 inclination of richer, more educated people to limit their family size, and Chinas population growth is projected to gradually diminish within fifteen years. That would leave the Peoples Republic with a distorted population: too few youths, too few women and too many elderly. 30 Off icials say the easing of the one-child policy does not mean China is ending its family planning. China still has a large population. This has not changed. Many of our economic and social problems are rooted in this reality, said Jiang Fan, a National Peoples Congress 35 deputy, in Chinese media. We cannot risk the population growing out of control. PARK, Madison. Chinas one-child policy. Disponvel em: http:// www.cnn.com/2013/12/28/world/asia/china-one-child-policy-official.
