      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.

     "Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell."

     This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived

in   Rome in 52 wrote it.

     We all love new inventions. They are exciting , amazing and can even change our lives.

     But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

     Picture this: You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a

QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and

louder. Suddenly the computer goes empty and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night

to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?

     Inventions have speeded up (加速) our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed (压力)

and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no

cars, not even electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they simpler lives.

     On e family in the UK went "back in time" to see what life was like without all the inventions we have

today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Thomas,7, spent nine

weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.

     The grandmother, Lyn, said, "It was hard physically, but not mentally." She believed life was less

materialistic. "The more things you have , the more difficult life becomes." She said. The boys said they

found less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed

from being a trendy, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.

     Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!

     Don't be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day.

     Don't check your e-mail every day.

     Don't reply to somebody as son as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at

first, but it soon gets boring.
