Pennsylvania-When Connie Beck and her husband awoke to strange noises last weekend, they thought high winds were rattling(使发出响声) their home.]

　 What they found was even more unexpected: A deer was taking a bubble(泡沫) bath in their bathtub.

　 “I wasn’t exactly dressed for company,” Mrs. Beck said. “We were just waking up.”

　 The deer burst through the front door early on Saturday, ran past the couple’s bedroom and into the bathroom.

　 Somehow he managed to turn on the water in the bathtub and knock over a bottle of bubble bath into the bathtub.

　 He then got himself into the bubbly water.

　 “You could hear the water running over the kicking,” Beck said.

　 The Becks called State Game Commission officials, who arrived with tranquilizers(镇静剂) and a lot of laughter.

　 “A guy said, ‘There’s nothing wrong… he’s just in there taking a bubble bath,’” Mrs. Beck said.

　　 The animal was soon brought under control, removed from the house and allowed to go.

　 “He was unharmed except for a little cut above the eye,” said Mrs. Beck. “We were also fortunate. There wasn’t much damage, except for the front door, some marks on the tub, and a few hoof(蹄) prints on the floor.”

A.

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 power

tools with specially designed handles(把手) that allow the wrist (手腕) to keep straight (see the figures图形). 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.
