HSK4级听力题

遥远的森林里，住着一只凶猛强壮的老虎，小动物们都非常怕它。 有一天，它抓到了一只狐狸，狐狸说：“我是上天派下来做万兽之王的，如果你吃掉我，就会受到惩罚！如果你不信，就跟着我在森林里走一圈，看看动物们是不是见到我就害怕。”于是老虎便跟在狐狸后头走，它们每到一个地方，那里的动物都会吓得四处逃散。老虎见状就相信了狐狸说的话，但它并不知道动物们真正害怕的猛兽其实是自己。

Я играю в шахматы уже 25 лет, и научил меня этому мой дедушка. Он был отличным игроком и всегда делился со мной своими знаниями. Я помню, как мы сидели за шахматной доской и обсуждали разные стратегии. Это было очень интересно!

Когда я немного подросла, я начала ходить в шахматный клуб. Там я встретила много людей, которые также любили эту игру. У меня был тренер, который помогал мне улучшать свои навыки. Он учил меня новым тактикам и стратегиям, и благодаря ему я стала лучше играть.

Я также участвовала в турнирах. Это было волнительно и интересно! Каждая игра давала мне новые уроки и опыт. Я научилась не только играть, но и справляться с эмоциями, когда выигрывала или проигрывала.

Шахматы стали важной частью моей жизни, и я благодарна дедушке за то, что он научил меня этой замечательной игре. Я надеюсь продолжать играть и развиваться в шахматах еще много лет!

It's a question I get over and over here on italki - how important is COMMUNICATION when you're getting ready for an important interview in English?  

The answer might surprise you.  

Let's look at some data together to understand just how important COMMUNICATION really is.  

Let's get started! 

Confident English Interview Podcast

How important is COMMUNICATION when you're getting ready for an important interview in English?

A bluefin tuna was sold for 36.04 million yen -- around $273,000 -- at the first auction of the year at Tokyo's Toyosu fish market.

The price of the 212-kilogram fish was more than double that of the most expensive fish at last year's New Year's auction: a 211-kilogram fish that sold for 16.88 million yen -- at that time worth $145,000.

Both fish were caught off the coast of the town of Oma in Aomori prefecture.

This year's auction began at 5:10 a.m. on January 5, and around 230 tuna were sold in just 15 minutes.

Seafood wholesaler Yamayuki bought this year's most expensive fish for the sushi restaurant Ginza Onodera. The tuna was served to the restaurant's customers later that same day.

This is the third year in a row that Yamayuki has bought the most expensive tuna. However, prices had fallen in recent years as the restaurant industry suffered during the coronavirus pandemic.

Yamayuki's president Yukitaka Yamaguchi told The Yomiuri Shimbun that the increased price this year "is good news that symbolizes the gradual recovery from the pandemic."

This year's top price was the sixth highest since records began being kept in 1999.

The highest price recorded was at the New Year's auction in 2019 -- just after Tokyo's fish market moved from Tsukiji to Toyosu. At that auction, a 278-kilogram fish was sold for 333.6 million yen -- at that time $3 million -- to Kiyomura Corp., whose owner, Kiyoshi Kimura, runs the Sushi Zanmai restaurant chain.
