 In my opinion, making a decision 1____that there are several options for us to think about. Sometimes, we have to choose from 2____options, and in such a case we want not only to identify as many of these difficult choices as possible, but also to choose the one that has the highest 3____of success. To achieve this goal, every carefully chosen decision must be made in the light of a preset standard. Also, "Do it" or "Don't do it" does not qualify as a set of alternative choices. Only "Do this" or "Do something else" really qualifies. (By Steven)

4____, the winning strategy of decision-making is to sufficiently reduce uncertainty to allow a reasonable choice to be made. However, many of us are expectedly unreasonable. We can't bear to let any opportunities 5____nor can we even stand the temporary pain. We have a tendency to seek more information than required to make a complicated decision. However, when too much information is sought and obtained, 6____than restricted options, several problems can arise. (By Judy)

That's 7____true. For example, when so much information is available, our decision-making ability actually declines 8____the information can no longer be managed with conscious effort. A major problem caused by information overload is forgetfulness. We are naturally prejudiced that more is 9____. However, when too much information is taken into memory, especially in a short period of time, some of the information that was received earlier will be pushed out. Therefore, 10____evidence shows that more is not necessarily better. (By Jason)
