A long 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 French writer, Victor Hugo, wrote his novel Les Miserables about a poor man who stole (偷) a loaf of bread. The American writer, Ernest Hemingway, wrote A Farewell to Arms about a young American with the Italian Army in World War One.
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 just tell the things that people do. It also tells why they do them. The Badge of Courage, by the American novelist, Stephen Crane, tells about a young soldier who runs away the first time he is in the war. The book shows why he acted as he did. It describes his mental suffering (精神折磨) until he overcomes his fears.
People buy novels because they enjoy reading about other people. The novel meets the human desire (欲望) to know and understand other people.

Success is not easy to talk about because for some people it means power(权力), for some people it means wealth(财富), for others it is fame(名声) or great achievements(成就). But I have my own understanding of it. There are different ways to succeed.
Success means to try your best. Many people believe that success means to win. In my opinion, it means to try your best when you do everything, no matter you will win or not. When you are taking part in a long-distance race, if you keep on running as fast as you can, you are successful, although you may be the last to pass the finishing-line.
Success means to work hard. No one can be successful without any hard work. Tomas Edison succeeded, because he had experimented(实验) thousands of times to find the best material for lights. Every success calls for hard work.
Success means not to lose heart. No one can always be the winner. You will certainly lose or fail some day. It is important for you not to lose heart. Nobel had failed many times when he was doing his experiments. Sometimes his lab was on fire and he was nearly killed. But he never lost heart and kept on trying. Finally he invented a new explosive（炸药）. So when you fail or meet any difficulty, just believe in yourself, stand up and give the difficulty a heavy strike(一击).

Many people have stories about seeing aliens (外星人). Here are two.
Judy Varns works for a group called the Mutual UFO Network. She thinks a place called Area 51, in Nevada in the US, may be the best place on Earth to see UFOs. One day, she took some photos there and saw something she thinks was a UFO. “We saw this little round thing in the photos. It's kind of exciting,” she says.
Pat Travis lives near Area 51. One night, she saw a beam of strange light (一束奇怪的光) in the sky. According to Travis, the light moved from left to right, up and down, and it made many strange moves. Travis thinks the light was from a UFO.
The US Air Force is at Area 51. Some people think it keeps secrets (秘密), like UFOs that came to Earth and the aliens inside them. But in fact, Area 51 is a place the US Air Force uses to test new technology (技术), such as new kinds of planes.
James McGaha is a pilot at Area 51. “There is no UFO activity at Area 51,” he says. “No aliens.”
So what did Varns and Travis see? Bill Fox works at Area 51, too. He thinks he knows the answer. “We did build some strange-looking planes,” he says. “I could see why some people would think they were UFOs.”
