can push an entrepreneur (企业家) to hold on but it can also kill a business if it gets too extreme.Because I'm stubborn，I realized my dream of creating a pet­food company.Our foods include organic fruits，vegetables and meats.At first we packaged our foods in transparent bags，as it was part of our guiding philosophy.To start the company in ，I visited every pet­food store in Manhattan and some outside the city.In I moved the company to Muskego，Wis.，and our earnings were almost $500,000 that year.But getting my products into stores was just the beginning.We were competing against much bigger pet­food companies whose monthly marketing budgets were more than our yearly sales.So we invested in advertising and a website.With more customers came more feedback，much of which I dismissed.I was also receiving complaints about ice crystals (晶体) on the food，which form when the air temperature changes during transport.For this reason，most frozen foods are packaged in opaque (不透明的) bags or boxes.Studies have proved that ice crystals have little，if any，effect on either the quality or the taste of the food.So I ignored the complaints.After all，I told myself，we were better than competitors that wouldn't even show their products.We didn't hide anything.In our sales kept growing，but not as fast as those of our competitors.We were told that new consumers were choosing products packaged in opaque bags.When I visited the stores and forced myself to consider my products objectively，I had to agree：The ice crystals destroyed the look I wanted.We switched to opaque bags and tried to make the ice crystals smaller.Customers responded：In our products were sold in 2,500 stores across the country.语篇解读：固执和执着可能会使你成功，但也有可能使你失败。本文作者以自己的亲身经历，向读者指出了固执的优点和缺点。26What was the author's purpose of

names.Winston­Salem is one of them.It's a mid­sized city in what's called the plateau(high land)，between the Atlantic Coast Winston part is a relatively new place，founded early last century.It's home to the nation's biggest open­air tobacco market.The giant RJ.Reynolds Tobacco Company's headquarters is in Winston­Salem，and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds' best­known cigarette brands.Fast­growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem，so in 1913，people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.From a historical and tourist point of view，Salem，or Old Salem，as it's called today，is the interesting and unusual part of town.Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians.They spoke German，and their community was religiously based，with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories.The Moravians greatly valued women's work and brainpower.In fact，one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young womenthe Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772is still in operation.Over the years，Salem lost its Moravian character.That all changed，though，when a nonprofit group began to rehabilitate the historic area.These days Old Salem is what's called a living history museum，with exhibits，music，and tours of 18th­century houses，taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston­Salem.The historic community is booming again.Just as RJ.Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making cigarettes across town，Old Salem is generating about DS| 15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.语篇解读：随着时代的开展，原本分属不同类型、不同风格和不同特色的城镇，会逐渐融二为一。 美国有许多这样的城市，Winston­Salem就是其中的一个典型例子。31From the passage we can know that_.AWinston­Salem is the name of a cityBSalem is home to the tobacco marketCthe city Winston­Salem has two namesDOld Salem is the name of a tobacco brand解析：推理判断题。文章第一段介绍在美国，两个原本独立的城镇会逐渐合二为一，第二段第一句就说Winston­Salem就是其中的一个，由此可推知Winston­Salem是一个城市的名字，故答案选A项。答案：A32It

following part?ASome other attractions in Winston­Salem.BHow Winston makes profits from tourism.COther examples of cities combined by two parts.DSomething about the boarding school for
