5. Before Reading-background information 1 >> Background Information • Love Love is any of a number of emotions related to a sense of strong affection[1] and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my wife"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

6. Before Reading-background information 2 >> Background Information Love As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love[2] to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.[3] Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.

7. Before Reading-background information 2 >> Background Information Highway (1) A highway is a main road for travel by the public between important destinations, such as cities, large towns, and states. Highway designs vary widely and can range from a two-lane road without margins to a multi-lane, grade-separated expressway, freeway, or motorway. In English, British, and American law, the word "highway" is sometimes used to denote any public way used for travel, whether major highway, freeway, street, lane, alley, pathway, dirt track, footpaths, and trails, and navigable waterways. However, in practical and useful meaning, a "highway" is a major and significant, well-constructed road that is capable of carrying reasonably-heavy to extremely-heavy traffic.

8. Before Reading-background information 2 >> Background Information Highway (2) Examples of these in North America include the U.S. Highways, the Trans-Canada Highway, the Interstate Highways, State Highways, and Canadian Provincial Highways.Any interconnected set of highways can be variously referred to as a "highway system", a "highway network", or a "highway transportation system". The United States has the world's largest network of highways, including both the Interstate Highway System and the U.S. Highway System. At least one of these networks is present in every state and they interconnect most major cities.

9. Before Reading-background information 2 >> Background Information Highway (3) China's highway network is the second most extensive in the world, with a total length of about 3,573 million km. China's expressway network is also the second longest in the world, and it is quickly expanding, stretching some 60,300 km at the end of 2008, In 2008 alone, 6,433 km expressways were added to the network. In the United Kingdom, the term "highway" is ambiguous and not in common use, usually reserved for historic or legal use (see public highway). The terms main road and motorway are more common. Any classification of a road as a "highway" there, and therefore any statistics about the total length of a highway network there, is purely subjective.

10. Before Reading-background information 2 >> Background Information Highway (4) Some highways, like the Pan-American Highway or the European routes, span multiple countries. Australia's Highway 1 is the longest national highway in the world at over 20,000 km (12,000 mi) and runs almost the entire way around the continent. Highways are not always continuous stretches of pavement. For example, some highways are interrupted by bodies of water, and ferry routes may serve as sections of the highway. An example of this is U.S. Route 10, which crosses Lake Michigan via ferryboat.
