Unit 1 Women of achievement 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 shes definitely not a trainer-head.Shes not exclusive about them—for a start，there are some Nikes there.She hasnt got the boxes.She hasnt kept them all original.Shes not looking for the limited edition，the old-school original that nobody else has got.She just likes DC shoes.

Trainers—sports shoes—are the most revealing of footwear.Old-school Adidas？Youre a northerner and interested in music and football.Unless youre 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 Emilys collection of DCs show is that she has more personality than her trainers.She doesnt buy DCs for what the brand says about her.Shes 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 theyre comfortable，theyre bright and they suit her multicolored，individual style.Emilys strong sense of self and style means all brands must submit. 1．Why does Emily collect DC skate shoes?
