40、cross the United States there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one citybut kept both their names.Winston-Salem is one of them.

41、Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early last century. Its home to the nations biggest open-air tobacco market.The giant R.J.Reynolds Tobacco Companys headquarters is in Winston-Salem and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds best-known cigarette brands. Fast-growing Wins

42、ton soon surrounded the much older town of Salem, so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.From historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as its called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians.

43、 They spoke German, and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued womens work and brainpower.

50、 of feet above ground.

53、ilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number.
