Good tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries. Well-designed tools and equipment will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward（别扭的）hand positions. They will allow the worker to keep the elbows（肘）next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder and arm.

Overuse injuries can therefore be prevented or reduced if the employer provides, and workers use:

●power tools rather than having to use muscle (肌肉) power

●tools with specially designed handles that allow the wrist(手腕)to keep straight (See figure 1)．This means that hands and wrists are kept in the same position as they would be if they were hanging relaxed at a person’s side

●tools with handles that can be held comfortably by the whole hand. This means having a selection of sizes—remember that tools that provide a comfortable firm hold for a person with a very large hand may be awkward for someone with a very small hand. This is a particularly important consideration for women who may use tools originally designed for men.

●tools that do not press fingers (or flesh) between the handles, and whose handles do not have sharp edges or a small surface area.

28. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Good tool Design for Women B. Overuse of Tools and Worker Protection

C. Importance of Good Tool Design D. Tool Design and Prevention of Injuries

29. Which of the following describes a well-designed tool?

A. It’s kept close to the body. B. It’s operated with less force.

A. The effective use of the tool. B. The way of operating the tool.

C. The proper design of the handle. D. The purpose of bending the wrist.

There are good Santas（Father Christmas）and bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child，Santa Claus is perfect. That’s a lot of pressure. And so many people from around the world attend the Charles Howard School in Midland，Mich. The school offers a three-day，40-hour course for Santas hoping to achieve excellence. The graduates can get a diploma（文凭）in the art of Santa.

There’s a real range to what Santas learn, from big reindeer（驯鹿）for large events to no pay for charities（慈善）. One thing that makes them come here is a pure love for children，and very few jobs are respected by a shopping center full of children like Santas.

“The very first time I did Santa，I was attrac
