Ionic solids tend to be very stable compounds. The enthalpies of formation of the ionic molecules cannot alone account for this stability. These compounds have an additional stability due to the lattice energy of the solid structure. However, lattice energy cannot be directly measured. The Born-Haber cycle allows us to understand and determine the lattice energies of ionic solids. The Born-Haber Cycle is essentially Hess's Law applied to an ionic solid. Hess's Law states that:

A、The dissociation of a compound is always an endothermic process.

B、the heat of formation of a compound may be positive or negative,

C、The overall change in energy of a process can be determined by breaking the process down into steps, then adding the changes in energy of each step.

D、Sublimation energy, the energy required to cause a change of phase from solid to gas, by passing the liquid phase. has always a positive value

Who is disabled in China？

China is a country with a large number of disabled.Almost 60 million people have vision, hearing, speech, limb, intellectual or mental impairments.There is one disabled person in every 20 Chinese, and one out of every five households on average has a disabled family member.

According to nationwide surveys of the disabled, handicapped children under 14 account for 16 percent of the total handicapped population, and they display the greatest need for rehabilitative training as they display the highest recovery rates after early therapy.Those disabled between the ages of 15 and 59 account for 44 percent, but often their disabilities are not very severe.Although they are more or less able to work, they require vocational training, ‘cultural education’ and special employment.

The disabled over 60 years of age account for 40 percent.Many of them become handicapped due to illness or loss of various functions.Some live alone without any income, and therefore their insurance, rehabilitation, and medical needs have become a social issue.

The illiterate and semi-illiterate suffer from limited employment opportunities, and often they become socially handicapped as well.These people, often neglected, pose another social problem.

根据下列材料请回答 36～40 题：Mental Retardation(智力迟钝).

Mental retardation is a condition in which people have lower than normal intelligence and are unable to function at the level expected for their age。People with mental retardation are usually born with it。or it develops early in their life.They may also have some difficulty with daily living skills such as learning to read and write and caring for them selves.

Doctors and other professionals determine that a person has mental retardation based on their intelligence and how well they can do everyday activities.

Intelligence is the ability to learn and understand.Levels of intelligence are measured by special tests called intelligence tests.The score a person gets on one of these tests gives a numerical(数字的)measure of a person’s intelligence.This is called an intelligence quotient(智商)Or IQ.

An average score on an IQ test is about 90 to 110.A person with mental retardation will usually score below 75 on an IQ test.

The IQ test alone does not determine whether someone is mentally retarded.A person must also have trouble with everyday activities such as geeing dressed，eating，washing，or learning basic reading，writing，and arithmetic skills.

Mental retardation is not a disease itself.1t cannot be cured and it’s not contagious(传染的).This condition can be caused by several things that injure the brain or don’t allow the brain to develop normally.Many times we don’t know why a person has mental retardation.

Sometimes it may be caused by genes.Genes are chemical units found in every cell They carry the instructions telling , cells what to do.Sometimes。children receive abnormal genes from their parents.

A defective gene may also develop spontaneously.Neither parent would have passed on the gene，but the gene changes before the baby develops.

Some other problems that can cause mental retardation also happen before a child is born.It is important for the brain to develop properly if a child is to have normal intelligence.“Planning a pregnancy is the most important decision most of us will make in our lifetime.A healthy lifestyle. and good medical care should begin before a woman becomes pregnant and continue throughout the pregnancy，”says Jodi Rucquoi，a genetic counselor from Connecticut.If a woman abuses alcohol or drugs or doesn’t eat well，there is a risk to the developing baby.Also，a premature birth or problems during childbirth can sometimes harm the baby’s developing brain.while premature babies are generally fine，there is a greater chance that they may have mental retardation.

In some cases.a young child can develop mental retardation after being sick with a serious infection or other illness.or after suffering a bad head injury.

第36题：A child can be taken as mentally retarded.f he or she.

A．was born prematurely.

B．has lower than normal intelligence.

C．has low intelligence and low daily living skills.

D．has normal intelligence but difficulties in learning.

______, Charles doesn't look happy.

A．For all his large bank account

B．Instead of his large bank account

C．However his large bank account

D．Let alone his large bank account

Over the past few years, banks have systematically raised their old fees and invented new ones—as many as 100 different kinds. The size of these charges jumped more than 50 percent on checking and savings accounts since 1990, according to Bank Rate Monitor, an independent provider of financial data. Meanwhile, interest rates paid on passbook savings and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts failed to keep pace with inflation, let alone with other low-risk investments. And technologies like automated teller machines(ATMs) have truly turned into cash machines—for the bank.

Checking Profits. According to a report by the Federal Reserve Board, fewer than eight percent of all commercial banks now offer tree checking. In some big cities, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, free checking is virtually extinct.

What's more, the minimum balance required for the average checking account has increased dramatically since the Federal Reserve last surveyed banks in 1994. Account holders looking for interest on their checking through a NOW account had to raise their balance nearly 50 percent to $1,500 on average and they earned just 1.5 percent annually for their trouble.

NationsBank in Miami recently offered a "Deluxe Secure" checking account. Depositors got only an average 1.5 percent interest on their checking balance. And they were required to keep $5,000 tied up in a savings account or $21 maintenance fee.

New York City's chemical informed its checking customers that their "low minimum" accounts would be converted into new "relationship" accounts—with a higher minimum balance. The new minimum necessary to avoid extra fees jumped from $1,500 to $3,000. The dubious new benefits to customers？

Banking executives say there's a good reason why fees are higher. Since financial services were deregulated in the early 1980s, competitors have lured away high-margin business that once sustained bank profits. Americans are avoiding low-interest bank accounts in favor of high-yielding investments such as mutual funds. Creditcard holders can get more favorable terms from a national card issuer than from their local bank. Home-buyers can now tap a national market for the most competitive mortgage rates, and new-car buyers can shop for loans from auto-finance specialists like General Motors Acceptance Corp.

Still, the banks have managed to regain their profits in part with high customer fees. In fact, the banking industry has reported record earnings over the past three years.

What can be inferred from the sentence "it's the account holder who may get burned" (Paragraph 1)？

A．The author asserts that the account holder should be careful about the free toaster.

B．The author thinks that the account holder is the very person who uses the toaster.

C．The author suggests that the account holder should be careful about the bank.

D．The author holds that the bank should be criticized.
