C

    When Matty Sallin,34,was working on a degree in art and technology at New York University,he got interesting homework in electronics class.He decided to create an alarm clock(闹钟).

    "Everybody has to deal with these every day,and they are really unpleasant!"he says.He asked different people what they would like to wake up to instead of a noisy alarm.A lot of them said,"The smell of bacon(培根肉)".

    So Sallin and 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 instead of the sound to wake someone up.He explains."There's no danger of burning,because I built it carefully.It uses halogen light bulbs(卤素灯)instead of a fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.Yes,the clock itself can do it.Just a few easy steps are needed to set the alarm."

    "What you do is to put some frozen bacon in the night before and 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 halogen 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,  ▲,"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 drawing of inventions."I wanted to make an lift in my backyard and a special tree house."he says."But I never really thought I'd be called an inventor!"

    Sallin got an A in the class and went on to other things—but people continue to hear about his invention and email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock.

    Four years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At this year's Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.

    On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men's short-track 500-meter race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu's win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.

    “I didn't give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the reporter after the match.

    But China's short-track teams didn't do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women's 500 meters, 3000-meter relay and men's 1500 meters all failed to take home the gold.  Wu was China's biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.

    Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their words made him quite upset. But Wu didn't want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn't return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,” he told the reporter after his match at the Olympics.
