高考题型提能练一 Unit 1 Lifestyles Ⅰ.阅读理解 A After spending 13 years raising three boys, Stephanie Connolly wanted to get back into the workforce, but she was worried that her computer skills were obsolete. Not only was the long employment break a concern, but she had never used Microsoft Office programs. Her last employer had only used WordPerfect. A year later, Connolly is so skilled in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint that she is helping others, and has just completed a fixed amount of work as a teaching assistant in a computer class. Shes also on the job hunt, armed with a new resume (简历), interview skills, and the latest knowledge of how to conduct Internet job searches, fill out Web-based applications, and upload resumes. “I can walk through the doors of the company and feel very confident. The course instructors have given that to me，” said Connolly, who owed her development to classes offered by the Harvard Allston Workforce Development Collaboration (HAWDC).The collaboration is part of a series of programs, and neighborhood improvements that began with an agreement reached between Harvard University and the city of Boston five years ago. The agreement grew out of discussions between the University and the city over the construction of Harvards science Complex in Allston. Although the construction paused in 2009, the implementation (实施) of the non-construction-related aspects of the agreement has continued. What has meant to the neighbors is the opening of the Harvard Allston Education Portal, a community-centered education facility that serves as Harvards front door to the neighborhood and access to certain University programs and facilities. Information about the agreements benefits to the community, as well as about Harvards deep ties with Cambridge and Boston, is available on the new community-oriented Public Affairs website. 1.The underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
