The reading section elaborates three evidence of why cloud seeding, a way to add chemicals to clouds and transform hail into rain or snow, is practical. However, the speaker maintains that it\'s still not clear whether it\'s efficient or not, which contradicts what the author believes. In her lecture, she provides three convincing arguments to back up her idea.
To start with, the reading passage suggests that using cloud seeding could snow be created rather than hail according to laboratory experiments. Nonetheless, the professor refutes it that the effect of cloud seeding may be true in the process of transforming hail into the snow, but this measure is to blame for another problem. In reality, silver iodide has the ability to stop any precipitation from forming. That means there are no rains, snows or hails in clouds. As a consequence, the rainfall decreases, which increases the risks that drought occurs. Lack of water is another damage to crops.
Moreover, despite the statement in the article that cloud seeding has already been taken into use in some Asian urban areas, which shows a great result, the professor refutes it in the lecture that it\'s not clear whether we should repeat this method in the United States. For it\'s urban areas in Asia, there is serious air pollution from cars, which is a favorite condition for silver iodide to have an interaction between pollutants and chemicals. But in the United States, there is mostly not pollutant area in rural areas, so it might not work.
Finally, the writer has a notion that some local researches have shown that cloud seeding really helps a lot in protecting crops from the damage this year in the central United States. The listening passage, by contrast, puts forward a divergent opinion that the argument proposed by reading material is not convincing either. In that year, not only the place which research conducted in, but also some neighboring areas do not suffer hail. In other words, the whole region of that place has a decrease of hail damage. So it\'s more likely to be a natural variation of local weather that works rather than cloud seeding.
