2）“近朱者赤，近墨者黑”的意思主要是：

听力内容：
       几年前，我参加了一个主题为“创造财富”的论坛。在讨论会上，一位发言人在演说过程中请听众做个游戏。他说：“请大家拿出一页纸，然后在纸上写下和你相处时间最多的6个朋友，也可以说是与你关系最亲密的6个朋友，记下他们每个人的月收入。然后，算出他们月收入的平均数。这个平均值便能反映出你个人月收入的多少。”
　　后来，我认识到了这个游戏的本质意义，那就是交际的力量，即结交朋友的重要性。中国有句老话：“近朱者赤，近墨者黑。” 它所讲的道理是一样的，即择友的重要性。朋友的影响力非常大，可以潜移默化地影响一个人的一生。
　　在这里，我并不想告诉大家如何去选择朋友。我想强调的是，如果你想在人生和事业上取得成功，必须小心谨慎地结交朋友。
　　如果你最亲密的朋友是公司的高级主管，那么你们在一起时所谈论的主要内容一定是关于如何管理和经营的；如果你最亲密的朋友是公司的职员，那么你们在一起时谈论的主要话题一定是关于如何工作的；如果你最亲密的朋友是房地产商，那么你们谈论的话题一定会是关于房地产的……
　　如果下一次你和朋友一起聊天儿，请记下你们谈论的主要话题，到时你就会明白这句话的重要意义。如果你想展翅高飞，那么请你多和雄鹰为伍，并成为其中的一员。

HSK 六  《朋友的影响力》

The European Union (EU) has encouraged citizens across the continent to stockpile food, water and other essentials to last at least 72 hours as war, cyberattacks, climate change and disease increase the chances of a crisis.

The call to action for the EU's 450 million citizens comes as the 27-nation bloc rethinks its security, especially after Donald Trump's US administration warned that Europe must take more responsibility for it.

In recent years, the EU has been forced to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, and the threat from Russia, including its attempts to exploit Europe's dependence on its natural gas to weaken support for Ukraine.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has warned that Russia could be capable of launching another attack in Europe by 2030.

"Today's threats facing Europe are more complex than ever, and they are all interconnected," said Preparedness and Crisis Management Commissioner Hadja Lahbib as she shared a new strategy for dealing with future disasters.

While the commission is keen not to be seen as alarmist, Lahbib said it's important "to make sure people have essential supplies for at least 72 hours in a crisis." She listed food, water, flashlights, ID papers, medicine and radios as things to stock.

Lahbib said the EU should build up a "strategic reserve" and stockpile other critical resources including firefighting planes; medical, energy and transport equipment; and specialized assets against chemical, biological and nuclear threats.

The EU's plans are similar to those in France, Finland and Sweden.

Last year, Sweden updated its civil emergency advice "to better reflect today's security policy reality" such as what to do in case of nuclear attack.

Not all EU countries have the same level of crisis preparedness, and the commission also wants to encourage them to coordinate better in case of emergency.

President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said: "New realities require a new level of preparedness in Europe."
