I only take real money! ” the driver said angrily.Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing（令人难堪的）.The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。就旅行时需要注意的问题提出了自己的建议，如确 定起程时间、携带一定数量的当地货币以及确定目的地的气候等。1.

"It was clear that a lot of the same features were also found in the cold regions of the Earth, “ says Bubenheim. "NASA took the leadership on the team because we had the longest-term technologya Mars turbine.”Years before, NSF had worked with a company called Northern Power Systems (NPS), based in Barre, Vermont, to build a 3-kilowatt wind turbine on Black Island off the coast ofAntarctica.The main purpose of this turbine was to power communications to the NSF' s South Pole station.In 1993， Ames awarded the same company a Small Business Innovation Research（SBIR） contract（合同）to construct a similar wind turbine at the South Pole.Jonathan Lynch, the chief technology officer at NPS, says the South Pole has less wind than Black Island but is even colder. "It' s hard to have steels that work in those temperatures, “ he says. "The cold affects the parts and everything gets extremely fragile.We looked at which materials were appropriate for flexible wires, irons, and steels, and what lubrication（润 滑） systems were going to work and for what temperatures over a long period of time. ”In 1997, NPS made a 3-kilowatt turbine at the South Pole, and then began developing a 100-kilowatt turbine that could function in the same extreme conditions.The first types of the larger turbine were successfully deployed in Kotzebue, Alaska and Golden, Colorado. "They were fully tested in loads to make sure they worked, and we then built a lot of them, “ says Lynch.By 2000, the wind turbine technology had won an R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazine, and since then, says Bubenheim, "It' s been copied and put in a lot of places around the globe. ”语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了涡轮机技术在寒冷气候条件下的开展与应用。5.
