These days, many home users never bother to download their e-mail and the only threat W eb mail sites face comes from other sites. In its favor, Web mail offers a simple setup; You need to know only a user name and a password, without any mysterious mail-server addresses. Once your account is active, you can use it from any Web-connected computer. Web-based mail systems also make it easy to keep a permanent address regardless of your Internet provider. Doing the same with desktop e-mail usually requires paying extra money for a domain name and spending extra time on mail settings. By contrast, desktop mail programs let you read and compose mail without an Internet connection and dont wrap advertisements around your mail. But their most important advantages is their separation of software and service. Because you can use more than one program with one mail service, you can choose an application with the features you like. And because you can also use one mail program with more than one mail service, desktop applications make your mail itself portable; you can back up your messages and take them with you after closing an account. If desktop mail software programmers had kept pace with Web mail developers, the two camps could have a fairly even fight. Unfortunately, mail software developers cant make Internet providers upgrade their mail services, and Internet providers cant make mail-software developers modify their efforts. Unless that situation somehow changes, Web mail will continue to face few challenges outside of the social networks.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26.

There were two programs established by this act that Wheeler should look into. The first is the income-based repayment plan, which allows lower-income graduate with a lot of debt to reduce their monthly payments. Depending on a graduates income and level of debt, the program could limit his or her annual educational loan debt repayment to 15% of the income. The second is the public service loan forgiveness plan. If a borrower is working full time in public-service jobs and making 10-year loan payments, the federal government will forgive the remaining debt.
