A long, imaginary prose story about people is usually called a novel.
It can be about any kind of man, woman, or child. It can be about kings, or Chicago newsboys, or housewives. The Frenchman, Victor Hugo, wrote his novel Les Miserables about a poor man who stole a loaf of bread to keep from starving. The American, Ernest Heminway, wrote A Farewell to Arms about a young American with the Italian Army in World War I.
A novel can tell the story of any kind of action, over any period of time. The modern Irish writer, James Joyce, covers less than twenty-four hours in Ulysses. Yet Joyce takes a thousand pages to tell all that happens from the time one man gets up in the morning until he goes to bed early the next morning. A German writer, Herman Hesse, uses only one hundred and fifty pages in his novel Demian to cover a boy's life from the age of ten until he becomes a young man.
A novel does not merely tell the things that people do. It also tells why they do them. The Red Badge of Courage, by the American novelist, Stephen Grane, tells about a young soldier in the War between the States who runs away the first time he is in battle. The book shows why he acted as he did. It describes his mental suffering until he overcomes his fears.
People buy novels because they enjoy reading about other people. Alone among the literary forms, the novel satisfies the human desire to know and understand our fellow creatures.

Directions:Read this passage,and choose the most suitable heading from the list for the paragraph of the passage.There is one extra heading.
1.________
People with intellectual disability form one of the largest single disability groups in a community.Intellectual disability refers to a general slowness to learn and function within society,and the identification of intellectual disability is usually based on an assessment of a person's performance in a variety of tests.An individual's level of performance,as assessed,can change with time and circumstances.With skilled training and opportunity for development,people with intellectual disability have much greater potential for acquiring skills and for participation in community life than previously had been thought possible.
2.________
In many western societies,five categories of intellectual disability have traditionally been used in order to indicate the perceived degree of difficulty an individual has with learning.All five may occur in either children,adolescent or adult,and show as mild,moderate,severe,profound or multiple intellectual disability.
3.________
For the majority of intellectual disabilities,there is no identifiable cause but there are some causes that are well documented.They include:brain damage at birth due to lack of oxygen-prolonged labor during childbirth;brain damage before birth due to factors such as rubella,drug or diet-related problems;damage after birth due to illnesses such as encephalitis or accident;hereditary defects in the genes; abnormal chromosome count resulting in,for example,Down Syndrome.
4.________
Like everyone else,people with an intellectual disability need a rewarding job,a satisfying place to live and a good social life.But they may need extra support to achieve these things.Good support services are based on the principle of normalization-which means enabling people to be part of the community like everyone else.
