What are the most popular shoes in the world? Sneakers, of course! Almost everybody o 86

at least one pair of sneaker. But, how many people know the history of the sneaker? Sneakers were first introduced around the b 87 of the 20th century. The sneaker was invented when a shoe company glued a piece of rubber to the shoetop. They called it an athletic(运动的)shoe.

In 1917, U.S.Rubber sold athletic shoes called Keds. The shoes became known as―sneakers,‖

because they were so q 88 that you could sneak up on (偷偷接近) people while wearing them.

For many years, sneakers only came in one c 89 choice-and it wasn‘t white. They were brown with black bottoms.

The way sneakers looked changed in the early 1960s. A runner named Phil Knight and his

coach, Bill Bowerman, decided to make them b 90 . They made some experiments to find a light, comfortable athletic shoe, and went into the sneaker business.

One day, Bowerman stuck a piece of rubber into a waffle maker (华夫饼制造器)．W 91 he heated it up, the iron made a pattern of criss-crosses(十字图案)in the rubber. Bowerman was inspired to use this on the sole(鞋底) of a shoe to give the shoe traction(摩擦力)and a lighter weight. He knew that this rubber wouldn't slip on the gym floor.

The two men named their shoes Nike, after a Greek goddess. Nike was a symbol of victory. From then o 92 , Nike shoes became winners, too. They were sold in many different colors and styles and have sold millions and millions all around the world.

I left the main road as soon as possible and tried a smaller one. It was not easy without a map, and I realized that I had been so s___88___ to steal the car. It would help the police to find me in any corner of Scotland. If I left it, and went off on foot, they would find me in an hour or two.

I was very hungry; I had eaten n__89__ since morning. And now, as I drove, I heard a noise in the sky, and there was a plane. I drove as fast as I could down into another town.

But I was out of good l___91__. The car went through the fence like a knife through butter, and immediately began to fall.
