Active Reading Section: Making Informed Decisions Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
Forming an opinion about an environmental issue is often difficult and may even seem overwhelming. It helps to have a systematic way of analyzing the issues and deciding what is important. One way to guide yourself through this process is by using a decisionmaking model. A decision-making model is a conceptual model that provides a systematic process for making decisions. In a simple decision-making model, the first step is to gather information. In addition to watching news reports and reading newspapers, magazines, and books about environmental issues, you should listen to well-informed people on all sides of an issue. Then consider which values apply to the issue. Explore the consequences of each option. Finally, evaluate all of the information and make a decision. IDENTIFYING MAIN IDEAS One reading skill is the ability to identify the main idea of a passage. The main idea is the main focus or key idea. Frequently, a main idea is accompanied by supporting information that offers detailed facts about the main idea. In the space provided, write the letter of the term or phrase that best answers each question.
