Developing that passion for reading is crucial, according to Jim Trelease, author of the best-seller, The Read-Aloud Handbook.. Every time we read to a child, we're sending a 'pleasure' message to the child's brain, he writes in the Handbook.. You could even call it a commercial, conditioning the child to associate books and print with pleasure.. This reading commercial is critical when competition for a child's attention is so fierce.
Massachusetts has an unique unposted limit law. If a limit is not posted outside of a thickly settled area, you are not speeding unless you exceed 50 (divided highway) or 40 (undivided) for a quarter mile. In a thickly settled area other than a school zone, exceeding 30 for an eighth of a mile is speeding.
Speed limits in the United States vary depending on jurisdiction, with 75 to 80 mph (120 to 130 km/h) common in the Western United States and 65 to 70 mph (105 to 115 km/h) common in the Eastern United States. States may also set special speed limits for trucks and night travel along with minimum speed limits.n Pennsylvania the maximum freeway speed limit is generally 65 mph (105 km/h), with a select few sections of rural freeway and parts of the Pennsylvania Turnpike signed at 70 mph (113 km/h). The speed limit on urban freeways ranges from a low of 50 mph in downtown Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to 65 mph in some areas.
