Many consumers ignore commercial advertisements. In response, advertising companies have started using a new tactic, called “buzzing.” The advertisers hire people—buzzers—who personally promote (buzz) products to people they know or meet. The key part is that the buzzers do not reveal that they are being paid to promote anything. They behave as though they were just spontaneously praising a product during normal conversation. Buzzing has generated a lot of controversy, and many critics would like to see it banned.First, the critics complain that consumers should know whether a person praising a product is being paid to praise the product. Knowing this makes a big difference: we expect the truth from people who we believe do not have any motive for misleading us. But with buzzing what you hear is just paid advertising, which may well give a person incorrect information about the buzzed product.Second, since buzzers pretend they are just private individuals, consumers listen to their endorsements less critically than they should. With advertisements in print or on TV, the consumer is on guard for questionable claims or empty descriptions such as “new and improved.” But when consumers do not know they are being lobbied, they may accept claims they would otherwise be suspicious of. This may suit the manufacturers, but it could really harm consumers.And worst of all is the harmful effect that buzzing is likely to have on social relationships. Once we become aware that people we meet socially may be buzzers with a hidden agenda, we will become less trustful of people in general. So buzzing will result in the spread of mistrust and the expectation of dishonesty.

Both the passage and the listening are engaging in a discussion regarding the controversy of buzzing, a phenomenon that advertisers hire buzzers to promote their products to others. The writer proposes three problems caused by buzzing, and hold the firm perspective that buzzing should be banned, the lecturer who holds the opposite opinion, however, states that each of the three problems is incorrect. As opposed to the writer's first idea that cosumers do not know whether a person prasing some products is being paid or not, which may mislead the cosumers, the lecturer indicates that people who promote a product are exactly the people who have used the product and had a high evaluation on it. In detail, he argues that people who thinks the product he uses is good so he is choosed by the company to tell some truth. After that, the lecturer proceeds to challenge the writer's second argument that consumers are often cheated by the buzzers, by examining that acutually, consumers are more cautious about them. To be specific, he says that they will ask you plenty of question about the product; and if the buzzer can not answer the question or give the wrong answer, then they will not be interested in it. Finally, it is the writer's third assumption that the existence of buzzing will spread the mistrust and dishonsty among the sociaty, which is contrasted by the lecturer that if a product is not good, they can not recruit any buzzers. He claims that only people have good experience will be willing to introduce the product to others, thus leading a better experience to others, which, in fact, can contribute to a more trustful sociaty.

6.文章修订
Both the passage and the listening discuss the controversy surrounding buzzing, a marketing strategy in which advertisers hire buzzers to promote their products to others. The author presents three problems caused by buzzing and argues that it should be banned. In contrast, the lecturer disputes each of these points, asserting that they are inaccurate.
Firstly, the lecturer challenges the reading's claim that consumers may be misled by buzzers who are paid to promote products. He explains that buzzers are chosen because they genuinely believe in the quality of the product they are promoting, and their opinions are based on their personal experience with the product. This differs from traditional advertising where actors are paid to read scripted lines. Although buzzers receive compensation for sharing their opinions, they still provide truthful information about their experiences with the product.
Secondly, in contrast to the reading's argument that consumers are often deceived by buzzers, the lecturer asserts that people actually approach them with caution. He elaborates on this point by stating that consumers tend to ask numerous questions about a product when interacting with a buzzer. If a buzzer cannot provide satisfactory answers or appears untruthful, consumers will likely lose interest in purchasing the product.
Lastly, while the author posits that buzzing could spread mistrust and dishonesty within society, the lecturer contends that only products with positive user experiences can successfully recruit buzzers. He argues that if a product is truly inferior, it would be difficult for companies to find individuals who genuinely believe in its quality. As a result, buzzed products are more likely to be well-received by consumers who try them out based on recommendations from buzzers. This positive experience could ultimately lead to increased trust and openness among people in society. (292 words)
