参考答案(新东方版)：
The past few years have witnessed a mounting number of cases resulting from the conflict between businesses and consumers. Taking a look around, one can find examples too many to enumerate.All these cases result in the loss of trust between the two sides.
A number of factors can account for the problem, but the leading reason is the cheating behavior of either the business or the consumer. On the one hand, some stores may have sold substandard commoditiesto the customer, which caused the latter to lose trust in the former. On the other hand, some customers might be too picky, which ruined their image in the seller’s mind. Whatever the reason is, if the situation is allowed to continue, the consequence will be worrisome.
In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before the situation deteriorates. First, it is imperative that laws and regulations be worked out and enforced to punish those who cheat in the market. Secondly, both businesses and consumers should enhance the awareness of mutual understanding and mutual respect. With these measures taken, we have every reason to believe that the problem will be remedied in the near future.
