阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
Over the past few years，software makers and independent developers have begun to offer a wide variety of business applications for free，but there is also software that is worth paying for．
Here arc a few things to consider when deciding whether you go free or pay the fee．
Is the Software Mission Critical（关键的）?
If an application is critical to the day-to-day running of your business，it may be best to spring for the cost of licensing the software．Take Photoshop，for instance．If you run a small design firm where you are working with the program every day to fill client orders，it's probably worth paying for the desktop version with full functionality and support services．Photoshop Express may be great for occasional users and students but may not be the best option for heavy users．
Is the Software Client-Facing?
It might be a good idea to cut costs on an application such as PDF creation software，and there are a lot of free online tools that allow yon to save files in the PDF format．However，many of these services place advertising within the PDF file．Sending documents to clients with ads from another company may not leave the best impression．
How much Support Do You Need?
Free desktop and server software sounds like a great idea；just think of all the money you'll save．However，if you are tech savvy（通晓科技的），you may run into a few problems getting the freeware set up on your machine．When considering free software you should also keep in mind what kind of support you think you will need．Paying for software with free support may be cheaper in the long run than getting free software and then paying someone to help you use it．
Are There Limits to How You Can Use It?
Finally，free software is often a stripped-down（精简的）version of licensed software．It's important to look closely at the capabilities of the free options to see whether ________．Consider how often you will use the application and what kind of functionality you need before going with a free option．You may get lucky and find everything you need in a free application，but you may also find that when it comes to software，the best things aren't free．
1．What is the main idea of the passage? （Please answer within 20 words．）
2．Which sentence in the text can be replaced by the following one?
Perhaps users would not like to receive files including information to help sell products made by other firms．
3．Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with a proper phrase or a sentence to complete the sentence．（Please answer within 10 words．）
4．Do you think the free software is always good? Give your reasons．（Please answer within 30 words．）
5．Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese．
