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.
Current speed limits are: 10 km/h (6 mph) in parking lots and residential areas; 60 km/h (37 mph) in streets with no speed limit; 60â80 km/h (37â50 mph) on urban arterial roads (ejes, calzadas, beltways and freeways) 80 km/h (50 mph) in avenues with no speed limit; 70â90 km/h (43â56 mph) on rural two-lane roads
