Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)
A different kind of alarm clock
When Matty Sallin, 24, was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting task for the final exam: Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create an alarm clock.
“To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant,” he says. So before he started to design the new clock; he asked different people what they’d like to wake up to in the morning, and lots of them said, “The smell of bacon(培根).”
So Sallin and his two classmates 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 to wake people up. He explains, “There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs(灯泡) instead of fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.” Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”.
“What you do is to put a few pieces of bacon meat inside the box the night before, then you set the alarm,” says Sallin. “If you set the alarm for 8: 00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.”
“So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms,” says Sallin. “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”
When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house,” he says. “But I never really thought I’d become an inventor!”
Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other thing, but people continue to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. If he decides to produce and sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it.
【1】What was Matty Sallin?
______________________________________________________
【2】How many people worked together on the new alarm clock?

【3】How long did it take to cook the bacon?

【4】Why are light bulbs used for cooking bacon instead of fire?

【5】What’s special about Sallin’s alarm clock?
_________________ wakes people up instead of the loud alarm.
【6】What do you think of the new alarm clock?
