14．You've heard it all before---to lose weight，you must burn many more calories．But anyone who has tried to lose weight knows it's not so easy!As a matter of fact，about two-thirds of people who have just lost weight will put it back on within a year．
For many people，trying to lose weight means going on a diet，and they usually fail because they can't stand feeling hungry．Losing weight is not a one-time activity，but something you have to plan for a long time．
In other words，don't expect to become"thin"in no time at all．Experts agree that losing weight slowly is healthier than a quick fix．My suggestion is that you should try to lose no more than a couple of pounds a week．
Although this doesn't seem like much，slow weight loss is the only way to avoid"yo-yo dieting （体重忽上忽下）"，where you lose a great deal of weight，only to put it back on within a few months or years．There is no shortcut to lose weight； go for slow change toward a healthier life，and think always of the long term （期限）．

13．Under the Dome（穹顶），a 103-minute documentary self-funded by former news anchor Chai Jing，was released on video-sharing websites in China on Feb 28．It has rapidly drawn the public's attention about air pollution and encouraged people to join in efforts to make a difference．
A recently study found people's lives are made shorter in North China．It is showed the life expectancy（平均寿命） had been cut down by 5.5 years there．Researchers think that the heavy air pollution in China should be to blame（承担责任）．It's really the truth．Our government has already done something．However，it doesn't seem to work so well．
"Air pollution in China is doing harm to people's health．The harm is much more serious than we can imagine，"said Chen Yuyu of Beijing University，one of researchers of this study．
Dirty air brings serious problems in North China．In January this year，the air pollution was worse than that in other places．That was caused by rising temperature and waste gas（废气） from coal heating．
Chinese government should strongly fight against air pollution．They should think of more proper ways to deal with the problem．People should be encouraged to take buses，ride bicycles or walk，instead of driving cars．The factories that pollute heavily should be closed．
"We need to improve our environment，although it might be expensive．Protecting our environment means protecting ourselves，"Li Hongbin，another researcher of the study said．
