阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。
Kuwait is a country which is quite small, but which is very rich. It has a population of a little more than a million and it is situated at the north end of the Persian Gulf, between Iraq on the north and Saudi Arabia on the south. This small desert country is one of the world's leading oil producers and it has about 15 percent of the world's known petroleum reserves. Since the discovery of oil in 1938, Kuwait rulers have turned the country into a prosperous welfare state. It has free primary and secondary education, free health care and social services, and the Kuwaitis do not have to pay any personal income tax for those services. The rate of literacy is high and constantly growing. The University of Kuwait was opened in 1966. but many of the Kuwaiti students still study in colleges and universities abroad, at state expense. Kuwait is an Arab country, and about 99 percent of the people who live there are Moslems. But fewer than half of these Moslems are actually citizen of Kuwait. This is because there are many Moslem immigrants (移民) living and working there.
