      Everyone knows that Asians do well in math,but do you know why? Recently some researchers 1 a book. They try to tell us 2 Asian kids are good at math.

      The 3 reason is how short the spoken digits are. 4 following numbers out： four,eight,five,and six. 5 you speak English,you’ll need more than two seconds. But in Chinese,you’ll need 6 than one. The second 7 is the structure of the number system. In English,we have words 8 fourteen,thirty-four or fifty-seven. The number system in English is irregular. But it isn’t in Chinese,Japanese or Korean. These 9 have a logical counting system. In Chinese,eleven is ten-one. Twelve is ten-two. Twenty-four is two-tens-four,and so on. Above all,Asian kids learn to count faster. It makes them do math 10 than kids in other parts of the world.

     Almost every day,we use a computer to search information,send e-mails and play games. But everything would not go so well without its friend :small,clickable mouse.

     In 1968,US inventor Douglas Engelbart showed a cute machine to the public. It was a small wooden box with two metal wheels to roll back and forth. On top of it,there was a small red button that you could click. The machine was connected to the computer with a cable that looked like a “tail”. That's how it got its name “mouse”. This was the first mouse that could fit into a user's hand 

      Engelbart wanted computers to be more user-friendly. And he certainly succeeded. The coming of the mouse changed the way in which humans work together with computers. Instead of typing orders with a keyboard,users can now go faster with a mouse.

     But the mouse didn,t become popular until more than 10 years later. Apple's CEO Steve Jobs showed Applet Lisa computers with a mouse during the early 1980s. Since then,the mouse has been made in many shapes,sizes and colors,but allbased on the idea of Engelbart^ design.

Although there are touchpads (觸摸板) and touch-sensitive screens,the mouse is still an important part of all modern computers.

     Tigers wait until it's dark,then go out to find their food. When a tiger sees an animal,it moves very quietly,then jumps on the animal to kill it. It can take several days for a tiger to finish eating its kill. The tiger eat until it has enough,and then it covers the dead animal with leaves. Later,when the tiger is hungry again,it comes back to eat more.

      Most people want to be happy,but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle,a Greek thinker,said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words,we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions 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—that we fail to 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 several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

      Another secret to living a happy life 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. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier,do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies,go shopping to buy food for an elderly person,or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
