22、o 0.05 in 1995.In 2016, the road deaths dropped below 2,500 for the first time, or 5.2 percent less than 2015. Thats about 409 deaths per million people compared with Australias 387.And guess what? In 2016, the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 30,000 and the government plans to double
23、 that within the next three years.Okay, you know the arguments about increased traffic safety and cameras-for-income, but it seems in France theres been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws.

29、my child, and I became her mother. I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her. Gradually, I was used to this kind of life. Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better. I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience. My mother reacts very sensitively to my fe
30、elings. That is typical of Alzheimers patients. When I visit her, feeling hectic and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative.

31、 people. I always thought I was very tolerant, but in reality, my tolerance ran out as soon as someone turned away from what I considered “right”. With my mother I can now really be tolerant.
