    On a cloudy aftemoon last September, Rubio watched Texas National Cuard soldiers help passengers
    off planes at a small airport near College Station. All of them were running away from Hurricane (飓风) Ike.
    They had something else in common as well. Each passenger wore a bright yellow wristband (腕标), RFID,
    developed by Rubio's company. The wristband had a computer chip (芯片), which allowed the state's
    emergency response center (急救中心) to follow the person who wore it.
    "The wristband really made a difference," says Rubio, adding that thousands of families who called the
    state's emergency response center during the hurricane were able to find loved ones. The wristbands also
    made a lot of money for Rubio's company.
    That's a goal Rubio could not have imagined even a few years ago, as a 36-year-old stay-at-home mum
    with three kids under ten and a husband who traveled for work five days a week. "All I wanted was to have
    my family back together," she says.
    Rubio considered doing something different after the birth of her third child and returned to work. A friend
    suggested the technology of RFID. It wasn't new but was mainly used to find packages.
    Rubio began imagining wider use of RFID, and in 2005 the wristband appeared at a business conference and
    did a good job. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the company further used the technology, and later during
    Ike about 27,000 people were successfully saved.
    "I'm a mum with three kids or a woman in a technology field. I've succeeded and got confidence (信心)."
    Rubio also achieved something else. She finally has the family life she always wanted.
    1. People wore wristbands during Hurricane Ike in order to ________.
    A. protect them from being hurt
    B. be allowed to get on the planes
    C. lead their way to a safe place
    D. be found easily by other people
    2. Rubio decided to return to work because ________.
    A. she wanted to make money
    B. she liked the new technology
    C. she needed a change in life
    D. she was used to hard work
    3. How did the wristband work according to the passage?
    A. Very well.
    B. All right.
    C. Not well.
    D. Very badly.
    4. What does Rubio think is the most important?
    A. Usual business.
    B. Family life.
    C. Creat success.
    D. Social position.
