听力原文：M: Are you ready for the trip to museums in the Big Apple? I can hardly wait. W: The Big Apple? What are you talking about? M: The Big Apple is the nickname for New York City. W: Oh, tell me, where does the nickname the Big Apple come from? M: The jazz musicians of the 1920's are responsible for the name. When they played a concert in a city, they called that city an apple. W: Oh, but I still can't understand why they called it an apple instead of calling something else like a cake? M: I am not very sure about that. New York was the biggest city in the country, and the best place for a jazz concert. So the musicians called it the Big Apple. W: I think it's not only a big apple for the musicians but a big apple for everyone who wants to find an opportunity in that city. M: That's a good idea. Well, you are going to New York with us, aren't you? W: Yes, I'm going to. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the Museum of Modern Arts. M: And I heard that there's a special show of 20th century American Painters there. W: Amazing! New York is such a fascinating place. And it even has an interesting nickname. M: Want to have a bite of the Big Apple, don't you? W: Sure. (23)
