课时作业(十六) Ⅰ.阅读理解

[2017·河南八市重点高中质检]

Insurance broker(经纪人) Emily,29，has about 10 pairs of DC trainers in different colors，as well as a few other styles.

Emily has a fine collection of DC skate shoes，but she's definitely not a trainer-head.She's not exclusive about them—for a start，there are some Nikes there.She hasn't got the boxes.She hasn't kept them all original.She's not looking for the limited edition，the old-school original that nobody else has got.She just likes DC shoes.

DC，as a brand，is fairly well respected among skaters：it's been involved in skating for a long time，and it makes proper and good shoes.It's laughed at a little for being the type of shoes that nonskaters use—non-skaters like Emily—but it's up there with Vans and Fallen as a “proper” skate shoe.If Emily was a trainer-head，this brand history would be important，but she's not.

Trainers—sports shoes—are the most revealing of

footwear.Old-school Adidas？You're a northerner and interested in music and football.Unless you're wearing Stan Smiths bought in the past year，you are a fashion bunny.Or Superstars，which mean you like hiphop.Nike is more of a southern UK brand.Nike Air Max is the shoes most preferred by burglars，though Reebok Classics are up there，too...I could go on.

What Emily's collection of DCs show is that she has more personality than her trainers.She doesn't buy DCs for what the brand says about her.She's confident enough to make DC mean what she wants it to mean.Her style ignores the message that the brand wants to put across.She buys DCs because they're comfortable，they're bright and they suit her multicolored，individual style.Emily's strong sense of self and style means all brands must submit.
