2013届高三英语星级阶梯阅读练习 三星级 7 A An Apple employee is in trouble after the prototype（样机）of its top-secret iPhone5 was left in a bar。 　　The as yet unreleased prototype was supposedly misplaced at Cava22 in San Francisco。 Apples security team was called in after reports that it had been sold over the internet for ￡120. 　　However, technology website Cnet.co.uk reports that the San Francisco Police Department said Apple had not reported the item as lost。 　　Cava22 owner Jose Valle has said that neither the SFPD nor Apple have contacted him, although he does remember getting calls about a lost iPhone last month。 　　It follows a very similar incident in April 2010 when a then-unreleased iPhone4 was left in a beer garden of a German bar in California by an Apple engineer。 　　The lost iPhone4 was also sold over the internet to the technology blog, which paid ￡3,000. The incident led to Apple strengthening its already stiff security, for it seems difficult to believe that a virtually identical incident would happen for the second time in two years。 56.
