Splinternet
Europe is floating regulation that could impose temporary bans on US tech companies that violate its

more like what some have called the “splinternet”, or a collection of different Internets whose limits are
determined by national or regional borders.

almost everything at our fingertips. But the people delivering the products can’t even have a decent meal.
That’s a typical “high tech, low life” contrast.

My doctor took me for a walk around the farm where she lives. I was physically and emotionally
exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression.
The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits and a cat. She told me to focus on my
body in the environment.
When I was ill, I tended to retreat into my mind and disconnect from here and now. So, when I met a
horse named Fira, I expected nothing.
As I got closer to Fira, she nuzzled her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart.
Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring of past hurts, fears and failings. I
began to melt emotionally.
I patted Fira’s nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didn’t have to concentrate on feeling better;
Fira helped me feel loved and safe.
I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with
her. Initially, I wasn’t sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira
had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better. She connected with me by responding
to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way.
In my meetings with Fira, I found that I lost my usual self-consciousness, and I would focus entirely
on communicating.
I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place.
I learned to forget the past, with all its hurts. I learned to forget the future, which hasn’t happened yet.
When you stand beside a horse, you exist completely in the moment.
With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows.
I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate
whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was
part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.

C
A master of words, a literary genius and a philosopher, Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is
known by many as the greatest writer of all time. Even in 2020, 110 years after his death, his two greatest
masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, continue to be widely read, appreciated and highly
influential.
“If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy,” the Russian author Isaak Babel once
said. Tolstoy’s realistic fiction is famous for its powers of observation and ability to mine the depths of
human consciousness, such as the psychological exploration of a married woman in Anna Karenina. In
War and Peace, Tolstoy also describes Russia’s national soul and expresses public unity through his many
characters. His characters feel alive; they grow, they change and they stick in the minds of readers long
after the final page is turned.
Tolstoy’s influence on literature is without comparison. Authors regularly mention his novels as their
highest ambition
,
works that they could only dream of writing themselves. American writer Francis
Scott called Tolstoy the “greatest of all novelists” in his essay. He wrote, “from his first words, we can be
sure of one thing at any rate – here is a man who sees what we see, who proceeds, too, as we are
accustomed to proceeding, not from the outside inwards but from the inside outwards.”
“He defends fundamental values such as love, friendship and family relations. He gives positive
answers to the questions mankind is asking. In this sense he gives more hope,” Tolstoy’s great-great
grandson, Vladimir Ilyich Tolstoy, said.
Tolstoy’s message of peace has even had an effect on the real world. He inspired the leader of India’s
independence movement, Mahatma Ghandi, and his philosophy of non-violence over the course of a year
in which they wrote letters to each other.
8. What does the second paragraph intend to tell us?
A. The writing style of Tolstoy.
B. Tolstoy’s influence on other authors.
C. The characters in Tolstoy’s works.
D. The introduction to the greatest works of Tolstoy.
9. Which words can best describe Tolstoy according to the passage?
A. Humorous and caring.
B. Determined and optimistic.
C. Productive and hard-working.
D. Insightful and peace-loving.
10. How does the author introduce Tolstoy in this passage?
A. By contrasting with other authors.
B. By analyzing characteristics of his works.
