18、ng rides，and the DialaBus system is designed to do this as well.Information from the study for the new system suggests that depending on passengersneed，doortodoor transportation can serve its passengers almost as fast as a private taxi but at onequarter to onehalf the price.The key point is that the

19、 DialaBus may do what other transportation systems dont do now.The system will attract more offpeak(非高峰期的) business than other normal transportation does.And if it does attract enough passengers，the offpeak income would keep DialaBus away from the economic problems faced by other transportation serv

46、o 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 rather than sound to wake someone up.He explains，“Theres no danger of burning，because I built it carefully.It uses halogen light bulbs instead of a flame for cooking

47、and turns off automatically after ten minutes.”Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”“What you do is put a couple of frozen strips in the night before，”says Sallin.Bacon is cured，or preserved，so there is no danger of it spoiling overnight.“If you set the alarm for 800，it will turn on
