5.Students all over Canada know that there are awards that they can apply for,but many of them do not know how many are out there.We will learn a bit more about these awards and find out what to do in order to apply.
Many awards are focused on a particular type of study that a student is taking.There are a lot of awards of this kind and they are offered by a lot of Canadian organizations.
Making the decision of what award to look into is another issue that students are unsure about.The guidance counselors(顾问) that are employed by the school can also help you determine the things that will be necessary for you to do.
Using the Internet can be another great way to find out about what awards are available.Many resources offer applications that are able to be completed right from the website.This can make the process a great deal faster,which can mean a lot to those in need of assistance.
Preparing all of the information that you need for filling out the forms beforehand is a good idea.This can take a lot of stress off this situation and you will not be running around to look for things because you are not prepared ahead of time.The less interruptions there are,the easier the process will be.
Not all of the awards are based on sports or academics.Many are available to students who are at a disadvantage of some sort due to a particular disability that they may have.Others are based only on where a person is from.Taking time to find out about the choices is important if you want to be sure to apply for all that you qualify (具备合格条件) for.

1.Car accidents are the No.l cause of death for kids in the United States,according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC).So at what age should kids ride in the front seat?Parents need to pay more attention to kids'safety when it comes to riding in the car.The perfect age,according to the CDC,is 12.Kids younger than that should be buckled(扣住)up in the backseat,either in car seats or with the car's safety harness (安全带).The reason is that air bags in the front seat can kill smaller children.
A new law in Massachusetts takes things one step further.If it passes,the government would make it illegal for kids younger than 13 to sit up front.The penalty for breaking the law would be a $25 fine-not much,but some people think it's enough to draw awareness to this.Some argue that the law is just another form of big government overstepping its boundaries(界限).They point out the reasons why it may not always be possible to have all kids under 13 in the backseat.For instance,what if you're driving a truck that doesn't have a backseat?Or if you have many teenagers and need one of them to sit up front?However,some passenger safety organizations.such as SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A.,even advocate (主张)a greater limit when it comes to sitting up front,suggesting that children should continue to ride in the backseat until they are ready to drive themselves.
So when should your child be allowed to ride in the front seat of the car?That depends on two things:the laws in your state and your comfort level.While most states require that children sit in the back at least until age 12,some like Massachusetts have the age set closer to 13; while others,like Georgia,allow kids to sit in the front seat by age 8.Know your state's law before you make your decision.But also keep in mind what works best for you and your family.The backseat is the safest place for kids to ride,so it makes sense to keep them back there as long as possible before you let them ride up front.

20.Shawn Johnson is one of the strongest girls I know to compete in gymnastics.She was just 15 years old when she competed in the Olympic trails (选拔赛).She went to the Olympics in 2008 and competed in all four events with famous American gymnast Nastia Luikin.She was the balance beam (平衡木) gold medalist and team,all-round and floor exercise silver medalist at the Games.After the Olympics she was featuring on the hit reality show"Dancing with the Stars"in 2009-2010.It was not until she broke her knee in a January 2010 ski (滑雪) accident did she realize that she still wanted to compete.She made a comeback,aiming at the 2012 0lympic Games.But because of the continuing problems with her knee,she decided to finish her season and then retire from gymnastics.She felt she was worn out and wasn't as good as she was the first time.
My favorite things about her are her confidence and how hard she works.She always has a smile on her face even when times are difficult.She also took time away from gymnastics to help kids around the world get cleaner water.She has influenced my life because I wouldn't have known to actually try hard to get great dreams realized and I hope one day I become somewhat close to how she is in every possible way.She has also taught me not to be afraid of failing at the first time and to learn from my mistakes instead of considering them as a downfall (堕落的原因).I think more people should look at her as a role model.
