听力原文:W: Congratulations on your baby girl! How's the mother doing?
M: Thanks, Mary, Helen is doing very well. It was a tough delivery, but she came through it well.
W: That's great. How big is the bouncing baby girl?
M: Pretty big. It's eight pounds, ten ounces. She has her mom's blue eyes, but she certainly inherited her papa's temper. I don't think she's stopped screaming yet.
W: We're all familiar with the world-renowned Taylor temper. Have you picked a name yet?
M: We haven't made a final decision yet, but we've got it narrowed down to three or four picks.
W: Everybody in the office chipped in to buy something for the birthday girl.
M: Thanks for the kind thoughts. By the way, in keeping with tradition, the new father has to give his friends some big, fat cigarettes. Here you go.
W: A Cuban cigar? I thought that custom went out with the dinosaurs. Smells great.
M: You know, it really feels great being a dad. I really want to share my happiness with my friends.
W: Yeah, this is the same case with a new mother. I remember how good I felt when Steven and I had our first. Well, plans for any more?
M: We really haven't thought about it. I'm sure I'll have my hands full handling this one.
W: You're right. You'll find your days as boss of the house are numbered.
M: I'd better get over to the hospital to see them. Again, Mary, thanks for the gifts and your greetings.
W: My pleasure. If there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate.

听力原文:M: Hello, how can I help you?
W: My son isn't feeling well and I'd like to get some advice.
M: What seems to be the problem?
W: Well, he has been coughing for several days now. I'm wondering if he should come in and see the doctor.
M: How old is he?
W: He is 3 years old.
M: Does he have any other symptoms like fever, runny nose, or loss of appetite?
W: No, actually other than the cough, he seems healthy. I am concerned though, because some of his sister's friends have whooping cough and I know that it can be very contagious. Isn't that a pretty serious illness?
M: It can be serious with babies. Has your son been immunized against whooping cough?
W: I'm not sure. He did get all of the suggested vaccinations. I will look it up in our records.
M: If he has been immunized recently, it is very unlikely that he would catch whooping cough, even if he has been exposed.
W: Sounds like I don't have to worry about that, but what shall I do about his cough?
M: It will help if you give him lots of fluids and a hot bath before bedtime. Keep an eye on the cough to watch to see if it gets worse. Call us again if he has a fever or if you are still concerned.
W: Thanks for your advice.
M: You are welcome. Good-bye.
W: Bye-bye.
