Here are some fantastic parks in San Antonio.
Brackenridge Park
The park was first established in 1899 and has been popular with both locals and visitors ever since. Towering trees and peaceful riverbanks will greet guests along the park’s paths, and the facilities include playgrounds, museums, a miniature train, a Japanese tea garden, and one of the oldest golf courses in the city.
Friedrich Wilderness Park
In the park, you’ll find about 10 miles of paved(铺过的)and unpaved trails(路线), with a little something for everyone. From rocky climbs to deep canyons, and enchanting forests to open views, there’s no shortage of natural beauty. The area is nationally famous for birdwatching.
San Antonio Missions National Historical Park
The park is the state’s only one on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. It covers quite a large area, so it’s best to make it a full-day or at least a half-day trip so you can be sure to cover everything. While the Alamo is a separate attraction, you will get to enjoy the architectural wonders of Mission Concepcion, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan, and Mission Espada. They’re all connected by a hike and bike trail, with plenty of stops along the way to picnic, climb trees, and refill water. Admission is free!
Eisenhower Park
Just a 20-to 30-minute drive from the city center, the park puts the best landscapes in the Texas Hill Country on full display, holding 6 miles of hiking trails, both paved and unpaved. Explore dried creek beds, look out over plunging canyons, and enjoy full views of San Antonio down below. You can also find playgrounds for the little ones, picnic tables, and barbecue facilities.
21. What is Friedrich Wilderness Park well-known for
A. Birdwatching. B. Ancient buildings.
C. A Japanese tea garden. D. Unpaved hiking paths.
22. Which park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site
A. Brackenridge Park.
B. Friedrich Wilderness Park.
C. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
D. Eisenhower Park.
23. What are some of the features of Eisenhower Park

Geoff Banks and Celesta Byrne met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact and they still keep in touch with each other.
Centenarians (百岁老人), Geoff Banks from Devon, Britain, and Celesta Byrne, from the US, started writing to each other at the age of 16 in 1938. The former engineer Geoff even kept in touch with Celesta during WWII. They, now, can talk to each other on the Internet.
They recently had their first call giving Geoff a break from putting pen to paper that he said he found difficult at his age. Despite having chatted for decades, the pair have only ever met twice-first in 2002 while Geoff visited New York at the age of 80, and then again two years later. Celesta was living in New Jersey at that time, and then she moved to live near family in Texas.
Geoff said, “I had worked abroad for a number of years but had not been to the US for some time. Celesta was in New Jersey, so we decided to meet up in New York for a short Christmas trip. We just talked about daily lives and our families. In one of my early letters, I sent her a copy of a British paper in 1953 which had Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation (加冕) on the front of it.”
Despite having such a special relationship, the pair deny there was ever any romance there. Both have been married, with Geoff’s wife having passed away in 2011. Geoff is now a great grandfather, having sadly survived his daughter but still having three sons scattered across the world and many more grandchildren.
They felt grateful to the educational project, which gave them the chance of being friends. They are friends, like people who live next door. They value their friendship and think it’s nice to hear friends’ voices.
24. How did Geoff know Celesta
A. By a friend. B. By joining in a party.
C By surfing the Internet. D. By an educational program.
25. What was Geoff before he retired
A. A teacher. B. A mechanic. C. An engineer. D. A soldier.
26. Where did Celesta live when she met Geoff for the second time
A. In New York. B. In New Jersey. C. In Texas. D. In Devon.
27. Which word can best describe the friendship between Geoff and Celesta
A. Lasting. B. Odd. C. Complex. D. Ordinary.
C
With low or no-carbohydrate diets rising in popularity in recent times, the potato is now regularly overlooked in favour of other vegetables. In fact, research literature has previously indicated potatoes may have a detrimental effect on health, such as increasing the possibility of developing Type2 diabetes(糖尿病).
However, new research done by Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shown while potatoes may not have all the same benefits as some other vegetables, such as lowering risk of Type 2 diabetes, health issues associated with potatoes may actually be due to how people are preparing them and what they’re eating them with.
A recent analysis of this study led by Dr Nicola Bondonno from ECU’s Nutrition and Health Innovation Research Institute found people who consumed the most vegetables were 21 percent less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those who consumed the least amount of vegetables. PhD candidate Pratik Pokharel carried out work on the analysis and said while potatoes didn’t have the same impact on Type 2 diabetes, they also didn’t have any negative effect.
“In Denmark, people consume potatoes prepared in many different ways. In our study, we could distinguish between the different preparation methods. When we separated boiled potatoes from mashed potatoes(土豆泥), fries or crisps, boiled potatoes were no longer associated with a higher risk of diabetes: They had a zero effect,” said Pokharel.
“In our study, people who ate the most potatoes also consumed more butter, red meat and soft drinks-foods known to increase your risk of Type 2 diabetes,” said Pokharel. “We should separate potatoes from other vegetables in regard to messaging about disease prevention but replacing refined grains such as white rice and pasta(意大利面食)with potatoes can improve your diet quality because of fibre and other nutrients found in potatoes.”
28. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Magical. B. Protective. C. Fantastic. D. Negative.
29. What may contribute to the bad reputation of potatoes according to ECU’s research
A. The effects they have caused. B. The ways they are consumed.
C. The places where they are planted. D. The results previous studies have shown.
30. Which of the following have little effect on Type 2 diabetes
A. Fries. B. Crisps. C. Boiled potatoes. D. Mashed potatoes.
31. What is Pokharel’s attitude towards potatoes
A. Critical. B. Opposed. C. Indifferent. D. Objective.
D
Inspired by living systems, researchers at Aalto University have developed a new material that can change its electrical behaviour based on previous experience, effectively giving it a basic form of adaptive memory. Such adaptive materials could play a vital role in the next generation of medical and environmental sensors, as well as in soft robots or active surfaces.
Responsive materials have become common in a range of applications, from glasses that darken in sunlight to drug delivery systems. But existing materials always react in the same way: Their response to a change doesn’t depend on their history, nor do they adapt based on their past.
This is fundamentally different from living systems, which dynamically adapt their behaviour based on previous conditions. “One of the next big challenges in material science is to develop truly smart materials inspired by living organisms. We want to develop a material that would adjust its behaviour based on its history,” said Bo Peng, an academy research fellow at Aalto University, who was one of the senior authors of this study.
The researchers synthesized(合成)micrometre-sized magnetic beads(磁珠)which were then stimulated by a magnetic field. When the magnet was on, the beads stacked up to form pillars. The strength of the magnetic field affects the shape of the pillars, which in turn affects how well they conduct electricity.
“With this system, we coupled the magnetic field stimulus(刺激)and the electrical response. Interestingly, we found that the electrical conductivity depended on whether we varied the magnetic field rapidly or slowly. That meant that the electrical response depended on the history of the magnetic field. The electrical behaviour was also different if the magnetic field was increasing or decreasing, explains Peng. In the future, there could be even more materials that are algorithmically(在算法上)inspired by life-like properties, though they won’t involve the full complexity of biological systems. Such materials will be central to the next generation of soft robots and for medical and environmental monitoring.
32. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B. To give a definition to the new material.
C. To make a comparison with existing materials.
D. To stress the importance of the Aalto University’s research.
33. What does Peng’s words in paragraph 3 mean
A. They want to develop better materials.
B. They depend on previous conditions too much.
C. They are facing challenges from other universities.
D. They can’t make truly smart materials from history.
34. What does the author want to show in the last sentence
A. The method of making the new material.
B. The application of the new material.
C. The way of making the new material.
D. The complexity of biological systems.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Responsive materials that have become common
B. Next generation material that adapts to its history
C. The next big challenge that faces material science
D. The electrical behaviour that depends on the magnetic field

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Tomato plants are adaptable to less-than-optimal conditions, but meeting their preferred conditions yields the juiciest and most delicious fruit.
Light. ____36____ In extremely hot conditions, the morning sun and light afternoon shade are sufficient. Although the plants can grow in mainly shady areas, the production of fruit will be severely limited.
Soil and water. Tomato plants grow best when they have fertile soil and consistent moisture (水分). If it rains less than 25.4 millimeters per week, you need to water them yourself. ____37____ Placing much around your tomato plants discourages weeds, maintains soil moisture, and prevents diseases from splashing off the soil onto the leaves when it rains. Aim for a 3-to 4-inch-thick layer of organic covering, such as straw, chopped leaves or finely shredded wood chips.
Temperature and humidity (湿度).____38____ Wait until the soil warms in spring before setting out plants. Tomato plants grow well when the temperature is about 25℃. Although they love the sun, when the temperature rises above 40℃, they will stop growing. Tomatoes like a relatively high humidity level of 65 percent to 85 percent. Levels higher than this range negatively affect the plants.
____39____ Tomato plants grow best when fertilized at two specific times during the growing season: right after planting and just before the fruit develops. Apply balanced liquid plant food to them.
Pruning (打杈). Tomato plants don’t have to be pruned. However, removing any side shoots (新枝) growing between the main stem and a branch is a good idea.____40____
A. Fertilizer.
B. The planting area.
C. Tomatoes are warm-weather fans.
D. In general, tomato plants require the full sun.
E. However, to prevent diseases, avoid wetting the leaves.
F. To make them grow better, water them as often as you can.
G. They can influence the growth of main branches growing fruit.

When Cassandra Ridder picked up her son Brody from school, the boy wasn’t his usual happy-go-lucky self.
Cassandra said that the sixth graders didn’t want to talk about his day and only wanted to listen to music. To lighten his mood, she asked him about his yearbook (毕业纪念册). Earlier that day, the mom had received an email, informing parents that students would be bringing their class yearbooks home. She was curious if Brody got lots of signatures.
But when she brought it up, her son got really sad. He said, “No, Mom, no one really signed my yearbook. I asked people and they either told me no or that they would do it later, and that they were too busy for me.”
When Brody handed over his yearbook, Cassandra’s heart sank. The page was almost empty, except for a couple of messages from his teachers and two students’ names. To fill in the space, Brody had written a note to himself that read “Hope you make some more friends”, and had signed his own name.
“I tried to make him feel better,” said Cassandra. “I told him that it might have just been a busy day, and to give people the benefit of the doubt. I told him that things will get better and to stay positive, and that no matter what, I would always be his friend.”
Upon discovering what happened with Brody’s yearbook, Cassandra decided to do something. That night, she wrote a post on the Internet for parents. She wanted to let the other parents know this was happening at the school and remind them they should talk to their kids about being kind to one another.
“My poor son feel sad. Despite Brody’s asking all kinds of kids to sign it, two teachers and a total of two students wrote in his yearbook, her post read.” So Brody took it upon himself to write to himself. My heart is broken.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Cassandra didn’t expect too much from the post.

【解析】
【原文】M: Hello, everybody. Welcome back to our program. I’m Cliff. Today I’d like to talk about blind boxes. The blind box attracts young people’s attention and makes toy makers a fortune. Blind boxes were first popular in Japan and later spread to China, Thailand and other countries. The blind box market was worth 7.4 billion yuan, that was $1.14 billion in 2019, according to research. It will increase to 30 billion yuan by 2024. But once in a while, a rare or even “hidden” item—one that does not appear in advertisements for the range—will appear in the box, which raises a storm of collection. Wang Ke, a big fan of toy collectors, has ever been in a queue overnight for new products. She said buying blind boxes was mainly for a sense of mystery and an uncertain surprise. Many young people think blind boxes can comfort their heart, reducing the pressure from work and life, which brings a sudden increase in the blind box market. But it has not escaped criticism, with state media comparing the trend to addiction. OK. That’s all for today. Thanks for listening.

Geoff Banks and Celesta Byrne met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact and they still keep in touch with each other.
Centenarians (百岁老人), Geoff Banks from Devon, Britain, and Celesta Byrne, from the US, started writing to each other at the age of 16 in 1938. The former engineer Geoff even kept in touch with Celesta during WWII. They, now, can talk to each other on the Internet.
They recently had their first call giving Geoff a break from putting pen to paper that he said he found difficult at his age. Despite having chatted for decades, the pair have only ever met twice-first in 2002 while Geoff visited New York at the age of 80, and then again two years later. Celesta was living in New Jersey at that time, and then she moved to live near family in Texas.
Geoff said, “I had worked abroad for a number of years but had not been to the US for some time. Celesta was in New Jersey, so we decided to meet up in New York for a short Christmas trip. We just talked about daily lives and our families. In one of my early letters, I sent her a copy of a British paper in 1953 which had Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation (加冕) on the front of it.”
Despite having such a special relationship, the pair deny there was ever any romance there. Both have been married, with Geoff’s wife having passed away in 2011. Geoff is now a great grandfather, having sadly survived his daughter but still having three sons scattered across the world and many more grandchildren.
They felt grateful to the educational project, which gave them the chance of being friends. They are friends, like people who live next door. They value their friendship and think it’s nice to hear friends’ voices.
24. How did Geoff know Celesta
A. By a friend. B. By joining in a party.
C. By surfing the Internet. D. By an educational program.
25. What was Geoff before he retired
A. A teacher. B. A mechanic. C. An engineer. D. A soldier.

With low or no-carbohydrate diets rising in popularity in recent times, the potato is now regularly overlooked in favour of other vegetables. In fact, research literature has previously indicated potatoes may have a detrimental effect on health, such as increasing the possibility of developing Type2 diabetes(糖尿病).
However, new research done by Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shown while potatoes may not have all the same benefits as some other vegetables, such as lowering risk of Type 2 diabetes, health issues associated with potatoes may actually be due to how people are preparing them and what they’re eating them with.
A recent analysis of this study led by Dr Nicola Bondonno from ECU’s Nutrition and Health Innovation Research Institute found people who consumed the most vegetables were 21 percent less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those who consumed the least amount of vegetables. PhD candidate Pratik Pokharel carried out work on the analysis and said while potatoes didn’t have the same impact on Type 2 diabetes, they also didn’t have any negative effect.
“In Denmark, people consume potatoes prepared in many different ways. In our study, we could distinguish between the different preparation methods. When we separated boiled potatoes from mashed potatoes(土豆泥), fries or crisps, boiled potatoes were no longer associated with a higher risk of diabetes: They had a zero effect,” said Pokharel.
“In our study, people who ate the most potatoes also consumed more butter, red meat and soft drinks-foods known to increase your risk of Type 2 diabetes,” said Pokharel. “We should separate potatoes from other vegetables in regard to messaging about disease prevention but replacing refined grains such as white rice and pasta(意大利面食)with potatoes can improve your diet quality because of fibre and other nutrients found in potatoes.”
28. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Magical. B. Protective. C. Fantastic. D. Negative.
29. What may contribute to the bad reputation of potatoes according to ECU’s research
A. The effects they have caused. B. The ways they are consumed.
C. The places where they are planted. D. The results previous studies have shown.
30. Which of the following have little effect on Type 2 diabetes
A. Fries. B. Crisps. C. Boiled potatoes. D. Mashed potatoes.
31. What is Pokharel’s attitude towards potatoes
A. Critical. B. Opposed. C. Indifferent. D. Objective.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。Edith Cowan University(ECU)的新研究表明，虽然土豆可能不像其他蔬菜那样有益健康，但吃土豆引起的健康问题可能与人们吃土豆时采用的烹饪方法和搭配食用的食物有关。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。第一段最后一句提到“such as increasing the possibility of developing Type2 diabetes(糖尿病).”（比如增加患2型糖尿病的可能性。）可知，吃土豆会增加患2型糖尿病的可能性。由此可知，前面是表明吃土豆可能对健康有负面影响。A. Magical.魔法的；B. Protective.保护的；C. Fantastic.极好的；D. Negative.消极的。D项符合文意，故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。第二段提到“However, new research done by Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shown while potatoes may not have all the same benefits as some other vegetables, such as lowering risk of Type 2 diabetes, health issues associated with potatoes may actually be due to how people are preparing them and what they’re eating them with.”（然而，伊迪丝考恩大学(ECU)的一项新研究表明，虽然土豆可能不像其他一些蔬菜那样有好处，比如降低患2型糖尿病的风险，但与土豆相关的健康问题实际上可能是由于人们准备土豆的方式和搭配的食物。），ECU的新研究表明，吃土豆引起的健康问题可能与人们吃土豆时采用的烹饪方法和搭配食用的食物有关。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。第四段最后两句提到“When we separated boiled potatoes from mashed potatoes(土豆泥), fries or crisps, boiled potatoes were no longer associated with a higher risk of diabetes: They had a zero effect,” said Pokharel.”（当我们将煮土豆与土豆泥、薯条或薯片分开时，煮土豆不再与更高的糖尿病风险相关：它们没有任何影响，”Pokharel说。），由此判断，他们的研究表明土豆煮着吃对2型糖尿病没有影响。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。倒数第二段中Pokharel提到了土豆的不同做法与糖尿病相关风险之间的联系，最后一段中陈述了可以用土豆来代替其他精加工食物。由此判断，根据最后两段中说的话可知，Pokharel对待(吃)土豆的态度是客观的，他只是在客观陈述吃土豆的影响和土豆本身的营养。A. Critical.批评的；B. Opposed.反对的；C. Indifferent.漠不关心的；D. Objective.客观的。D项符合文意。故选D。
D
Inspired by living systems, researchers at Aalto University have developed a new material that can change its electrical behaviour based on previous experience, effectively giving it a basic form of adaptive memory. Such adaptive materials could play a vital role in the next generation of medical and environmental sensors, as well as in soft robots or active surfaces.
Responsive materials have become common in a range of applications, from glasses that darken in sunlight to drug delivery systems. But existing materials always react in the same way: Their response to a change doesn’t depend on their history, nor do they adapt based on their past.
This is fundamentally different from living systems, which dynamically adapt their behaviour based on previous conditions. “One of the next big challenges in material science is to develop truly smart materials inspired by living organisms. We want to develop a material that would adjust its behaviour based on its history,” said Bo Peng, an academy research fellow at Aalto University, who was one of the senior authors of this study.
The researchers synthesized(合成)micrometre-sized magnetic beads(磁珠)which were then stimulated by a magnetic field. When the magnet was on, the beads stacked up to form pillars. The strength of the magnetic field affects the shape of the pillars, which in turn affects how well they conduct electricity.
“With this system, we coupled the magnetic field stimulus(刺激)and the electrical response. Interestingly, we found that the electrical conductivity depended on whether we varied the magnetic field rapidly or slowly. That meant that the electrical response depended on the history of the magnetic field. The electrical behaviour was also different if the magnetic field was increasing or decreasing, explains Peng. In the future, there could be even more materials that are algorithmically(在算法上)inspired by life-like properties, though they won’t involve the full complexity of biological systems. Such materials will be central to the next generation of soft robots and for medical and environmental monitoring.
32. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B. To give a definition to the new material.
C. To make a comparison with existing materials.
D. To stress the importance of the Aalto University’s research.
33. What does Peng’s words in paragraph 3 mean
A. They want to develop better materials.
B. They depend on previous conditions too much.
C. They are facing challenges from other universities.
D. They can’t make truly smart materials from history.
34. What does the author want to show in the last sentence
A. The method of making the new material.
B. The application of the new material.
C. The way of making the new material.
D. The complexity of biological systems.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Responsive materials that have become common
B. Next generation material that adapts to its history
C. The next big challenge that faces material science
D. The electrical behaviour that depends on the magnetic field
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. B

Tomato plants are adaptable to less-than-optimal conditions, but meeting their preferred conditions yields the juiciest and most delicious fruit.
Light. ____36____ In extremely hot conditions, the morning sun and light afternoon shade are sufficient. Although the plants can grow in mainly shady areas, the production of fruit will be severely limited.
Soil and water. Tomato plants grow best when they have fertile soil and consistent moisture (水分). If it rains less than 25.4 millimeters per week, you need to water them yourself. ____37____ Placing much around your tomato plants discourages weeds, maintains soil moisture, and prevents diseases from splashing off the soil onto the leaves when it rains. Aim for a 3-to 4-inch-thick layer of organic covering, such as straw, chopped leaves or finely shredded wood chips.
Temperature and humidity (湿度).____38____ Wait until the soil warms in spring before setting out plants. Tomato plants grow well when the temperature is about 25℃. Although they love the sun, when the temperature rises above 40℃, they will stop growing. Tomatoes like a relatively high humidity level of 65 percent to 85 percent. Levels higher than this range negatively affect the plants.
____39____ Tomato plants grow best when fertilized at two specific times during the growing season: right after planting and just before the fruit develops. Apply balanced liquid plant food to them.
Pruning (打杈). Tomato plants don’t have to be pruned. However, removing any side shoots (新枝) growing between the main stem and a branch is a good idea.____40____
A. Fertilizer.
B. The planting area.
C. Tomatoes are warm-weather fans.
D. In general, tomato plants require the full sun.

The Significance of Body Language in Communication
In our English class yesterday, we learned body language is crucial in communication. Body language includes different types, like facial expressions, gestures, postures, and eye contact. Facial expressions like smiling or frowning show our emotions, while gestures like waving or pointing help us express ourselves. Our postures and eye contact also send messages.
Body language is important because it helps us understand others better. It adds meaning to what we say and can show our feelings. Moreover it’s important to be aware of cultural differences in body language. By paying attention to body language, we can communicate more effectively and avoid misunderstandings.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Cassandra Ridder picked up her son Brody from school, the boy wasn’t his usual happy-go-lucky self.
Cassandra said that the sixth graders didn’t want to talk about his day and only wanted to listen to music. To lighten his mood, she asked him about his yearbook (毕业纪念册). Earlier that day, the mom had received an email, informing parents that students would be bringing their class yearbooks home. She was curious if Brody got lots of signatures.
But when she brought it up, her son got really sad. He said, “No, Mom, no one really signed my yearbook. I asked people and they either told me no or that they would do it later, and that they were too busy for me.”
When Brody handed over his yearbook, Cassandra’s heart sank. The page was almost empty, except for a couple of messages from his teachers and two students’ names. To fill in the space, Brody had written a note to himself that read “Hope you make some more friends”, and had signed his own name.
“I tried to make him feel better,” said Cassandra. “I told him that it might have just been a busy day, and to give people the benefit of the doubt. I told him that things will get better and to stay positive, and that no matter what, I would always be his friend.”
Upon discovering what happened with Brody’s yearbook, Cassandra decided to do something. That night, she wrote a post on the Internet for parents. She wanted to let the other parents know this was happening at the school and remind them they should talk to their kids about being kind to one another.
“My poor son feel sad. Despite Brody’s asking all kinds of kids to sign it, two teachers and a total of two students wrote in his yearbook, her post read.” So Brody took it upon himself to write to himself. My heart is broken.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Cassandra didn’t expect too much from the post.

The headmaster Mr Rudd also knew of Brody’s story.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Cassandra didn’t expect too much from the post. But the next day, she received an unexpected text from Brody. Brody told her that he had messages from all sixth graders and even eleventh graders. They all promised to support him and signed encouraging words to him. The students who had previously refused to write in his yearbook were suddenly “lining up” to sign their names and write their messages. Some even put their phones for him to contact them. He was deeply touched and felt it was the best day ever.
The headmaster Mr Rudd also knew of Brody’s story. He sent Brody a sweet note and a gift. The note read “Dear Brody, it was great to talk to you the other day. It’s important to remember that things will get better even when life is tough. There are so many people that love you and think you’re the coolest kid. I’m one of them! I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’re going to accomplish.” With all that has happened, Brody feels more confident now and is already talking about how excited he is for the seventh grade.
