    You will need to write both short and long- term goals. 
<b>Since both "short" and "long" modify "term," it should be -- both short- and long-term goals.
Number 2 is correct.
Number 3 needs a hyphen in half-gallon because it's two connected words that modify "containers." There is no hypen in ice cream.
In number 4, "somehow" is one word and not hyphenated. Check this site for where you should place a hyphen in this sentence.

You've used the parentheses correctly. :-)</b>
