the most dangerous diseases A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases The expectation of life has increased largely But though 用心 爱心 专心4 the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before every day we witness the unbelievable slaughter 屠杀 of men women and children on the roads Man versus the motor car It is a never ending battle which man is losing Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel 方向盘 his car becomes the additional part of his personality There is no
