阅读理解选练（4）2016高考英语阅读练习新闻报道类If you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phones 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app. When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item a dog, for example, or a stolen bike goes out of your own phones 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it. Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced.

The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York. The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said. “Im not too superstitious(迷信的). ”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship best-known for sinking was tempting fate. White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable. About 1, 500 people died on Titanics maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast. “Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ”Palmer said. “I think it would be very cavalier to say it. ” Unlike the original, Titanicwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases. Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the“safest cruise ship in the world”. Palmer refused to answer questions about the projects cost. Although the Titanic was the worlds largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of todays modern cruise ships. “Its not about the money, ”Palmer said. “Ive got enough money for it. I think thats all that matters. ” Forbes estimated Palmers net worth to be $795 million in 2012. He describes himself as a billionaire.Titanicwill be built by Chinese state-owned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmers mining business
