　　A long time ago men hunted for their food. Often they killed wild animals, birds or fish. How did they kill the beasts? They used rocks and wooden sticks, sometimes they fought with their own hands and bodies.

　　Later on, people began fighting each other. Everyone wanted more food and mom land. They made arrows from sticks, they also made spears from stones. Then somebody invented the gun. Soldiers were taught how to shoot and kill enemy soldiers. Great wars were fought and many people died.

　　A famous general cried as he looked at one battle field. His soldiers were fighting well, but he felt very sad. He turned to his men and said, “My soldiers, I am going to ask you a question. The one who gives the best answer will receive a medal . The question is this: Who is the strongest power in the world?”

　　Four soldiers raised their hands. They wanted to answer the general's question. The general asked the first soldier to speak.

　　“Sir.” said the young man, “I think my gun is the strongest power. It can kill a person or an animal from a great distance.” “Thank you. ”said the general, “Next. ” He pointed to the man who was his best soldier.

　　“A soldier is stronger. ” said the second man, “He must shoot the gun and aim well. A gun's power comes from the way it is used.”

　　The third soldier thought he had the, best answer of all . “No, sir, ” he said, “our general is the strongest power. He gives the orders for his soldiers to shoot their guns.”

　　The general said nothing. He waited for the last man to answer his question. The fourth soldier answered the general's question this way, “I believe, sir, that the greatest power on the earth is love. It makes the general decide if he wants his soldiers to use their guns. Also, if men had more love for each other, they would not use their guns.”

　　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．

5．________

　　With the introduction of the intellectually disabled into communities，there is a need to promote awareness of communication．Although many people may have little experience in talking with an intellectually disabled person，the are common guidelines that can simplify the interaction．Firstly，it is useful to remember that people with disabilities have feelings．Speaking in the same friendly manner as you would to anyone else is also recommended．Being prepared to wait a little longer for replies during a conversation with an intellectually disabled person would undoubtedly benefit the exchange．

　　For years my husband, John, and I had dreamed of taking our three kids to Disney World．We'd planned our trip down to the last detail and dollar．But in Georgia, halfway there, our car broke down．

　　At a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next week．Meanwhile, John tried to find us a rental car．After many phone calls, John finally found a car．Luckily, our auto club would pick up the tab．We ended up arriving there three hours behind schedule．We tried every ride and met Mickey．

　　At the end of the long weekend we called the garage to check on our car．It turned out that the mechanic hadn't even looked at it yet! John got on the phone again．He found it would cost more than ＄ l, 100 to rent a car to drive home．That plus a plane ticket for him to go pick up our own car and we'd be out over ＄2,000!

　　I wailed(痛哭)and asked John, "What are we going to do?" He said, "It'll work out．" John encouraged me not to lose heart and he insisted on trying to find a way out．Amazingly, John found a car transport company that had a car we could drive home, paying only for gas! But all the way home I couldn't stop thinking about the money we'd still need for John's trip back to the garage and another long driving home．

　　When we got home, the high school student who had fed our cats asked how our trip was．I gave him the rundown, "Things worked out okay except that our car's still stuck in Georgia．" "No problem," he said．"I'm heading to Florida for a spring break with my parents．We'll be glad to stop in Georgia on the way back and pick up your car．"

　　We ended up spending only ＄50 more than we'd budgeted．The next week, our car was back, and I had a new understanding of dealing with trouble．Whatever happens, if you never give up, a good solution will come out at last．
