The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You forgot to include the two articles, or further links, or references. Without those articles, we do not know what you are talking about.
However, trying to help you, what we can do is to answer in the following general terms about the Maya society.
A common central idea of the articles that have been written about the Maya civilization is that they were great astronomers who liked to observe the stars and possessed a total understanding of the concept of time.
That is why the Mayas built observatories like the one in Chichen Itza, Yucatán, México. This precious building is in good condition and can be visited by tourists.
That is why the Maya society understood the use of time with three important calendars they developed.
The Tzolkin was the divine calendar and consisted of 26 days with 20 months of 13 days.
The Haab was a solar calendar that included 365 days. These days were divided into 18 months of 20 days, and the Uayebm the month with just five days.
The Long Count Calendar was the universal cycle for the Maya civilization and was used to track longer periods.
Answer:
As I walk down the street I hear various car engines coming from all sorts of directions. As I make it to the crosswalk I hear several dog's barks, ranging in pitch and strength. As I anxiously walk further, I see taxis and hear people whistling to call them over. I look to my left and see a group of 25 people or so, waiting just to grab a menu from a restaurant. To the right, a flock of birds, with a loud, little boy running after them. I hear the rain pounding on the windshields of cars, and I feel nervous as I know I need to make it in time. I hear slamming of breaks, shouting and commotion all while I am waiting to cross.

Not sure if this is what you mean
Explanation:
!. Highlighting:
Simply a referential mark in your text. Although this seems simple enough, the thought behind your highlights is extremely important to you. After awhile, you will see certain common threads in your own thoughts as well as the author's. In this sense, you are exploring self through the text's "other." You learn who you are in relation to the text at hand.
2. Annotation
Another point of reference. Annotation is generally marginal notation--nothing elaborate, just a reminder of why you thought the passage was important enough to highlight in the first place. But, again, your annotation keeps you aligned with an emerging agenda--each time you annotate, you explain to yourself why certain parts of the text are important to you while others are not. You reinforce your position.
3. Paraphrase/Summary
This is the ability to put in your own language the thoughts of an "expert" or professional who might apply exclusive professional language (jargon, buzz words). Paraphrasing is, essentially, a form of self-explanation in conjunction with a positive sort of language-play. By changing the language and retaining the gist of an object text, you may realize the importance of language patterns and the ability of language to include or exclude. Putting it in your own words makes it your own. Summary is another form of "trimming down" a text to its essential "message" (or in many instances what you SEE as the essential message). It is another way to control text and sharpen your own critical abilities.
4. Synthesis
Synthesis is the putting together of specific parts of texts you have studied, annotated, paraphrased and summarized. Here is where your own critical agenda takes full form. By keeping an eye on your own prize, you can synthesize the parts of your various texts into a viable support group designed to back up a predesigned thesis (but, we must keep in mind that in the process of researching an agenda, we might well discover a new unavoidable twist). The whole IV step process from highlight to synthesis might be seen as a taking apart and reordering of an object text to suit your own needs--a means of controlling a text and rendering it secondary to your own primary agenda.
