听力原文：M: Hello.

W: Hello, Dad？

M: Yes. . . Alice! How are you？ Is there anything wrong？

W: Oh, no. I just wanted to call and see how you and Mom were. It' s been quite a while since I saw you last time.

M: Oh, we' re both fine. Your mother is down at the new shopping center shopping.

W: For a new dress？

M: No, for shoes this time, I think. How' s Jack？

W: He' s fine: He likes his work and was given a raise last month by Mr. Davis. We were all pretty pleased about that.

M: Yes, I think you should be. And how are the children？

W: Well, Billy' s home from school today. It' s nothing serious, just a bad cold. And it' s his birthday, too!

M: Oh, I thought his birthday was May 24th.

W: No, the twenty-third.

M: Well, that' s too bad. Tell him we'll send him a present.

W: All right. Sally' s still taking dancing lessons.

M: She must be pretty good by now. I' d like to see her sometime. And how is Ted？

W: He' s OK, too. He loves working on cars and has a part-time job at the garage now.

M: Well, it' s certainly good to hear your voice. When are you coming for a visit？

W: Not for a few months, I' m afraid. But I hope we can come for a few weeks this summer, probably in July.

M: That would be nice. Call again soon.

W: OK, Dad. Nice talking to you and glad everything' s all right. Give Mom our love.

M: All right. Good-bye.

W: Good-bye, Dad.
