Yes, highlight the section and CtrlC and CtrlV.
Or, highlight the section, and RIGHT click for a menu which included Copy and RIGHT click at the destination for a menu which includes Paste.

Can you highlight text with the mouse?

Are you trying to copy/paste in a gnome terminal?
You have to:
ctrl-shift-c to copy
ctrl-shift-v to paste
You can re-map those to ctrl-c and ctrl-v, but probably don't want to because ctrl-c is used already as interrupt...
If you're using your mouse to highlight the text anyway, it'll 'copy' it as you highlight it.. then click the mouse wheel to paste it in (in a gnome-term)

No problem.. at the top of your terminal, does it have things like "file, edit, view, etc.."?
Click on 'Help' then go to 'about' .. to see what terminal you are using..

Ok it says that is GNOME Terminal 3.6.0 . Hope this would help!

Then you are using the default GNOME terminal. ctrl + shift +c should copy and ctrl + shift + v should paste.
Could you go to Edit --> keyboard Shortcuts and see what combination copy and paste are set to?
EDIT: GNOME terminal 3.6.1 (Ubuntu 13.04) has ctrl + shift + c/v as copy/paste. This should not be different in 3.6.0. Back in 2011 gnome-terminal had a bug that prevented copy/paste from working. I think this has been fixed by now.

Copy is set to C and Paste is set to Shift + V...
You might want to change them to Ctrl + Shift + C and Ctrl + Shift + V

Guys , I found out that the the combinations with Ctrl don't work because I have already used it as a combination with which I change the languages . I don't know how to change that but I think that if I do then Ctrl C and V would both work.

There should be a global keyboard shortcut program. I know that KDE has it built in, so GNOME probably does also.
