Khushi Ram, who is a 78-year-old Indian man, shares a house with 12 other family members.
Khushi Ram has been married to his wife, Kassmiri for 57 years. “Although we have little money, I have never seen any problem and we are happy to
feed our children with whatever we had,” she says. Kassmiri says her husband has taken whatever job he could do to support his family. She is clearly proud and grateful for this chance to tell the world how happy her family is.
I am impressed with how well the family members get on with each other. Four generations not only share one roof but one bank account. Ram Avtar, a son of Khushi Ram, works for a big company. Khushi Ram's other son runs a coffee shop. His grandson sells auto parts and second-hand cars.
I also notice there always seems to be someone watching grandpa, Khushi Ram's father Hartman, who is blind. Whether he knows it or not, there is always someone just making sure that if he ever does need help, someone will be right there. “In another country, in another life you might be on your own,” Hartman said. “If I were in a bad situation and were driven away like flies from milk, then what kind of a family would that be?”
In America, a lot of parents say the last thing they want is to be a burden on their children. Also, a lot of children don't want to be burdened by their parents. It is too bad that we can't all see like the blind man.

Researchers at Queens University in the United Kingdom are looking for volunteers for a study of diabetic(患糖尿病的)people who own dogs. The goal of the study is to determine scientifically whether or not dogs can notice diabetes in their owners.
The scientists are looking for 100 volunteers. They would also like to see any video footage that the dog owners might already have of the dogs responding to their owners' diabetic states in any way. They are especially interested in footage of the dogs reacting to low blood sugar levels in their owners.
It is believed that dogs literally can smell what is going on in the blood, and sometimes are even able to predict when change of low blood sugar will occur. However, there is very little scientific data to support these claims, so the scientists are hoping to collect data that will confirm these stories.
The videotape will be studied to see just how dogs react when blood sugar levels change. It will also be studied to see how differently dogs react, and whether or not there are similarities in the ways that they react. Another important question is how
reliable dogs are at noticing the change.
Dogs, and other pets, for that matter, are playing a bigger role in health-care systems today. For example, it is well known that dogs reduce people's stress levels. For that reason they are often taken to hospital settings to calm down patients. Dogs have even been able to increase the ability of children to learn how to read. This is done by having the child read to the dog. Children lose their fear of reading out loud because the dogs are very accepting and they are not judgemental.
文章大意:狗真的可以发现人的血糖变化吗?科学家们正在招募志愿者以找到科学依据。
64.The videotapes will be collected for all of the following purposes EXCEPT________.
A.finding out whether dogs can be trusted to notice the change in blood sugar levels

65.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A.Why dogs are used in hospitals. B.The role of dogs in health-care systems. C.How to use dogs to serve people. D.Why children like dogs.

66.According to the last paragraph, dogs can help children learn how to read because________.
A.dogs can listen to their reading carefully B.children experience no fear when reading to dogs C.dogs can play with them when they are reading D.dogs never bother them when they are reading
