9lass is a remarkable substance made rom the sim#lest raw materials. (t can be colored or colorless$
monochrome or #olychrome$ trans#arent$ translucent$ or o#a6ue. (t is li!htwei!ht im#ermeable to li6uids$
readily cleaned and reused$ durable yet ra!ile$ and oten )ery beautiul 9lass can be decorated in multi#le
ways and its o#tical #ro#erties are e.ce#tional. (n all its myriad orms % as table ware$ containers$ in
architecture and desi!n % !lass re#resents a ma=or achie)ement in the history o technolo!ical de)elo#ments.
:ince the +ron4e 7!e about A$JJJ +.C.$ !lass has been used or makin! )arious kinds o ob=ects. (t
was irst made rom a mi.ture o silica$ line and an alkali such as soda or #otash$ and these remained the
basic in!redients o !lass until the de)elo#ment o lead !lass in the se)enteenth century. 'hen heated$ the
mi.ture becomes sot and malleable and can be ormed by )arious techni6ues into a )ast array o sha#es and
si4es. The homo!eneous mass thus ormed by meltin! then cools to create !lass$ but in contrast to most
materials ormed in this way Hmetals$ or instanceI$ !lass lacks the crystalline structure normally associated
with solids$ and instead retains the random molecular structure o a li6uid. (n eect$ as molten !lass cools$ it
#ro!ressi)ely stiens until ri!id$ but does so without settin! u# a network o interlockin! crystals
customarily associated with that #rocess. This is why !lass shatters so easily when dealt a blow. 'hy !lass
deteriorates o)er time$ es#ecially when exposed to moisture$ and why !lassware must be slowly reheated
and uniormly cooled ater manuacture to release internal stresses induced by une)en coolin!.
7nother unusual eature o !lass is the manner in which its )iscosity chan!es as it turns rom a cold
substance into a hot$ ductile li6uid. @nlike metals that low or Dree4eD at s#eciic tem#eratures !lass
L
#ro!ressi)ely sotens as the tem#erature rises$ !oin! throu!h )aryin! sta!es o malleability until it lows like
a thick syru#. *ach sta!e o malleability allows the !lass to be mani#ulated into )arious orms$ by dierent
techni6ues$ and i suddenly cooled the ob=ect retains the sha#e achie)ed at that #oint. 9lass is thus amenable
to a !reater number o heat%ormin! techni6ues than most other materials.
Question 71: 'hy does the author list the characteristics o !lass in #ara!ra#h ;&
A. To demonstrate how !lass e)ol)ed B. To show the )ersatility o !lass
C. To e.#lain !lassmakin! technolo!y D. To e.#lain the #ur#ose o each com#onent o
!lass
Question 72: The word DdurableDK in #ara!ra#h ; is closest in meanin! to______.
A. lastin! B. delicate C. hea)y D. #lain
Question 73: 'hat does the author im#ly about the raw materials used to make !lass&
A. They were the same or centuries. B. They are li6uid.
C. They are trans#arent. D. They are )ery hea)y.
Question 74: 7ccordin! to the #assa!e$ how is !lass that has cooled and become ri!id dierent rom most
other ri!id substances&
A. (t has an interlockin! crystal network. B. (t has an unusually low meltin! tem#erature.
C. (t has )aryin! #hysical #ro#erties. D. (t has a random molecular structure.

A. The !lass must be reheated and e)enly cooled. B. The !lass must be cooled 6uickly.
C. The !lass must be ke#t moist until cooled. D. The !lass must be sha#ed to its desired orm

Question 78: The word DinducedD in #ara!ra#h ? is closest in meanin! to_______.

Herbs are dierent kinds o #lants and #lant #arts that can be used or medicinal #ur#oses. This can be
the lea)es$ stems$ roots or seeds o the #lant. Herbs ha)e been im#ortant traditional medicine or centuries in
both the *ast and the 'est. (n 'estern medicine$ they ha)e been lar!ely re#laced by dru!s. Herbal
treatments are$ howe)er$ still an integral #art o *astern medicine. (n recent years$ interest in traditional
medicine has increased in the 'est.
The main dierence between herbs and dru!s is that$ while herbs are sim#ly #arts o the #lant$ dru!s
are s#eciic chemicals in a #ure orm. ,any modern dru!s are deri)ed rom chemicals ound in #lants. One
e.am#le is as#irin$ which is made rom a chemical e.tracted rom the bark o the willow tree. Other dru!s
are entirely synthetic. *)en those dru!s that are deri)ed rom natural sources are hea)ily #rocessed in order
to #uriy and concentrate them. This allows dru!s to be administered in )ery #recise amounts. 3ierent

o treatment$ since the le)els o the chemical in herbs are not constant throu!hout the #lant. Thereore$ the
risk o under % and o)erdose is hi!her than with dru!s.
There are e)en certain herbs that can cause side%eects$ =ust like a dru!. 9arlic and !in!er are common
elements in ood that are also taken as herbal treatments$ but they can be dan!erous or #eo#le with diabetes.
(n !eneral$ herbs are most dan!erous when they are taken alon! with common dru!s.
