When Matty Sallin was working on a degree in arts and technology at university, he got an interesting assignment in electronics class; create something for the household. He decided to create an alarm clock. "Everybody has to use an alarm clock of some kind every day, and it’s extremely unpleasant!" he says. He asked different people what they’d like to wake up to instead of a noisy alarm. A lot of them said, "the smell of bacon." So Sallin invented a new kind of alarm clock; a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon rather than sound to wake someone up. He explains, "There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses light bulbs instead of a flame for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes." Just a few easy steps are required to set the "alarm." "What you do is put in a couple of frozen strips the night before," says Sallin. Bacon is preserved, so there is no danger of its spoiling overnight. "If you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs," he says. "Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig. So instead of an alarm, you smell yourself awake," says Sallin. "Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it."
20. What was Matty Sallin doing when he created an alarm clock?
21. What did Matty Sallin do before making the new type of alarm clock?
22. What makes the newly invented alarm clock so unique?
选项
A、Its automatic mechanism.
B、Its manufacturing process.
C、Its way of waking people up.
D、Its funny-looking pig face.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。文中提到,Matty在征求了多人的意见以后,发现人们对闹钟感到最不满的是它的叫醒方式,而且人们最希望能嗅着烤培根的香味醒来。所以,他动手制造出了一款能够定时烤制培根,并将香味散发出去使人从睡梦中醒来的闹钟。由此可见,这款闹钟的独特之处在于它叫人起床的方式很特别。
