second-largest city, Los Angeles（洛杉矶）, on the West Coast（美国西海岸）. This week,

we discuss another school with a large number of foreign students. It is all the way across

the country, in New York City.

New York University has forty-eight thousand（4万8千） students. More than four

watch films or TV plays（看电影或电视剧）, do you find（认为） them interesting if there

is no music? You would find them boring. And when you are waiting for the train or the
