雅思閱讀輔導(dǎo)：玻璃的制作方法

　　閱讀段落

　　Glass, which has been made since the time of Mesopotamians and Egyptians, is little more than a mixture of sand, soda ash and lime. When heated to about 1500 degrees Celsius this becomes a molten mass that hardens when slowly cooled. The first successful method for making clear, flat glass involved spinning. This method was very effective as the glass had not touched any surfaces between being soft and becoming hard, so it stayed perfectly unblemished, with a fire finish. However, the process took a long time and was labour-intensive.

　　段落大意
