Just getting accepted to an American college or university does not guarantee that you will get a visa. And getting a visa just lets you arrive in the United States. It does not guarantee that an immigration officer will permit you to enter the country.

If you are requesting a visa for the first time, you will probably have to go to an American embassy or consulate（領(lǐng)事館）. You will need to bring a government form sent to you by your American school that shows you have been accepted.

You will also need banking and tax records that show you have enough money to pay for your education. And be prepared to provide evidence that you will return to your home country after your studies end.

All of this is important in satisfying the requirements to get a visa. A consular official will also take your picture and your fingerprints.

Foreign students must contact their local embassy or consulate to request an interview and to get other information. This includes directions about how and where to pay the visa application charge. The cost is two hundred dollars.

You should apply for the visa as soon as you have been accepted to a school in the United States. The government needs time to perform a background investigation.

You cannot receive a visa more than one hundred twenty days before the start of your program. And if you are coming as a student for the first time, you cannot enter the country more than thirty days before classes begin.

Once you come to the United States, you can stay for the length of your period of study. Your school is required to provide the Department of Homeland Security with reports on your status as a student.

63. What do you have to take to the American embassy if you request a visa for the first time?

A. A government form.　　　　　　　　 B. Banking and tax records.

C. Pictures and fingerprints.　　　　　　 D. Both A and B.

64. When should you apply for a visa?

65. How much will you be charged for the visa application?

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：廣東省廣州市2012屆高三第一次模擬考試英語(yǔ)試題 題型：050

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　When movie star Scarlett Johansson was photographed naming in Los Angeles recently, she attracted a lot of attention; for the 27-year-old actress was wearing Vibram FiveFingers, so called because they look more like gloves than shoes, with a space for each toe．

　　Strange though they may look, these so-called barefoot shoes, which reproduce the effect of barefoot running but with less pain, are just one brand in a range of minimalist footwear．These super-thin sports shoes are causing a stir in the world of running and fitness．Why? Because some experts believe they could make you a better, more efficient runner and that traditional trainers could be doing you more harm than good．

　　"Wearing a shoe that has lots of cushioning and support affects the way your body naturally moves and studies suggest that this carries a higher risk of injury, " explains Matt Wallden, an athlete performance expert．"But with barefoot shoes, the foot can actually feel the firmness and shape of the ground, which allows your body to respond effectively．'"

　　But before you rush out to invest in minimalist footwear, be careful．These kinds of shoes are not meant for everyone, or at least not straight away．

　　"Ordinary sports shoes with support are good for beginners whose bodies are not used to the impact of running, " explains Patrick Davoren, former Olympic athlete．"It you are not in great condition, then running in minimalist footwear may cause injuries and will turn a lot of people off exercise and running．

　　If you are currently injured, and figures show that in any given year 65％ of all runners are, it can be tempting to try anything that promises to get you back on the road, trail, or beach．But barefoot running is not a method of treating injury nor is it a magical way of suddenly turning you into a great athlete．

　　Even if you're used to running, when you start using minimalist shoes you should build up your distance gradually．Start off'by doing just 10％ of what you'd normally run and increase the distance by no more than 10％ every week．And a word of warning-you may never have soft feet again
