Dialogue

Tools Are Dangerous,

Aren’t They?

Wu Gang and Zhang Li are talking about how to use a tool safely.

Wu Gang: Tools are dangerous, aren’t they?

Zhang Li: Certainly, they are. The most dangerous tool, I think, is the hacksaw.

Wu Gang: Why is that?

Zhang Li: Because it is used wrongly so often.

Wu Gang: I see. So what should we be careful about when using a hacksaw?

Zhang Li: Hmmm..., don’t put too much pressure on the blade or it’ll break.

Text A

Giant Swiss Army Knife

Wenger, the maker of the Swiss Army knife, has marketed a 9-inch long,

3-pound knife that contains a total of 85 tools.

As the world’s largest Swiss Army knife, this gadget has over 100 functions. It

has a wide range of handy tools, including several that you’ll probably never

use. But that’s the fun of it. There are seven blades, three types of pliers and

seemingly countless screwdrivers, saws and wrenches. There’s even a

battery operated torch and a laser pointer with a 300-foot range.

This giant knife is certainly not going to win any award for the lightest,

smallest or most efficient tool, but it probably will win the title “King of All

Tools”. And even though this knife is a monster, don’t worry — it

does have a key ring so you can carry it with you.

How to Use a Screwdriver?

There are many different types of screwdrivers, but the two most common

screw-drivers are the standard, flat-headed screwdriver and the Phillips head

screw-driver. In order to use these screwdrivers properly, you must match the

size and type of screw with the size and type of screwdriver. Once you have the

correct screwdriver, using it is quite easy.

When inserting a screw, first note the type of screw you are using and get the

right screwdriver for the job. Place the screw in the correct position. Then,

insert the tip of the screwdriver into the head of the screw. Press down firmly on

the screw head by holding the handle of the screwdriver and applying pressure.

Finally, turn the screwdriver to the right until the screw is full of the material you

are working with or until the screw is secure.

Use of Hand Tools

condition of tools used by his workers. He should teach workers that sharp tools such

as saw blades, knives need to be put away from other workers. Moreover, he should

also hold the workers responsible for the proper use and maintenance of their tools.

Knives and scissors must be sharp; dull tools can be more dangerous than sharp ones.

Floors should be kept as clean and dry as possible to prevent accidental slips with or

around dangerous hand tools. Finally, workers must wear personal protective

equipment, e.g. masks, earplugs and gloves.

Fun Time

Where Did You Learn to Use an Axe Like That?

A company needed to hire another woodman, and the first person to apply was a short and thin fellow, who was laughed at by the manager and told to leave.“Just give me a chance,” the little guy begged.“OK,” the manager replied, “Take your axe and cut down that tree over there.”Two minutes later he was back at the manager’s office, “Tree’s cut, can I have the job?”“I don’t believe it. That’s so much faster than even my best woodman could have done it. Where did you learn to use an axe like that?” the manager asked.“The Sahara Forest,” the little guy replied.“Don’t you mean the Sahara Desert?” the manager corrected him.“Sure, that’s what they call it now.”

Question:Was the guy being serious by saying that he used towork in the Sahara Forest?No, he was joking. He said it to show that he was really fast and efficient at cutting down trees.
