听力原文:M: Hello. W: Hello, Dad? M: Yes Mary! How are you? Is there anything wrong? W: Oh, no. I'm just calling to see how you and Mom are. It's been quite a while since I saw you last. 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. How's Tom? 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, and 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 23rd. M: Well, that's too bad. Tell him we sent him a present. W: All right. Sally's taking dancing lessons. M: She must be pretty good by now. I'd like to see her sometime. And how's Ted? W: He's OK. 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. Goodbye. W: Goodbye, Dad. (23)
