（2）The exhibition will visit 15 US and international cities in the next five years．Organizers say they want more kids to learn why math is important in daily life．Think of simple things，like clocks．（3）They tell time，but only if you know how to read them．That means using math．How much longer until school ends？How long did you sleep last night？That's all math，too．
（4）When you go______，you also do lots of math．How much change would you get if you paid for a 25.99-yuan sweater with two twenties？How would you calculate a 30% discount（折扣）？Even when you're not doing math，it's all around you．The computer you use to surf the Internet is a machine to do binary （二进制） math very fast．
So enjoy math，not for exams，but for the wonderful world it helps to build．

16．Everyone needs friends．We all like to feel close to someone．It is nice to have a friend to talk，to laugh，and to do things with．Surely，there are times when we need to be alone．We don't always want people around．But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend．
No two people are the same．Sometimes friends don't get along well．That doesn't mean they no longer like each other．Most of the time they will go on being friends．Sometimes friends move away．Then we feel very sad．We miss them very much．But we can call them and write to them．It could be that we would never see them again．And we can make new friends．It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them．
Families sometimes name their children after a close friend．Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town．Some libraries are named this way．So are some schools．We think of these people when we go to these places．When we have friends，we will be very happy．Being happy helps us stay well．Or it could be just knowing that someone cares．If someone cares about us，we take better care of ourselves．

14．Happiness is important for everyone．Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness．Money and success don't bring lasting happiness．Happiness depends on ourselves．In other words，we make our own happiness．
Some people believe that if they are wealthy，they will be able to do anything they want，which means happiness．On the other hand，some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness．In this way，you have not only money，but also many other things which can't be bought by money．However，other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness，nor is holding a high position in the government．These people value their beliefs，or their intelligence，or their health．They think these can make them happy．
Here are a few ways to help you be happier．
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life．Too often，we spend so much time thinking about the future，for example，getting into college or getting a good job，which means we don't enjoy the present．You should enjoy life's simple pleasures，such as reading a good book，listening to your favorite music，or spending time with close friends．People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives．
The second secret of happiness is to be active．Many people go dancing or play sports．People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities．
Finally，many people find happiness in helping others．According to studies，people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people．If you want to feel happier，do something nice for someone．You can help a friend with his or her studies，go shopping to get food for an old neighbor，or simply help around the house．
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
