阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。

　　Many rural areas in the United States have no doctor．Some medical schools are trying different ways to treat the problem．One idea is to educate doctors in smaller communities and hope they stay．Dr．William Cathcart-Rake heads a new program at the University of Kansas in the Midwest．

　　“We need more doctors．There's somewhere like a quarter of all of our physicians in Kansas who are sixty years of age or older．So we need to be replacing physicians, too．”Says Dr．William Cathcart．He also says medical students from rural areas now typically study in Wichita or Kansas City, two of the biggest cities in Kansas．They say, “You know, I really have every intention of coming back to rural Kansas,”but they meet a soul mate, they get married, their soul mate happens to be from a big city and we never see them again．They get captured in the big city．Hopefully, if we train them in smaller communities, they can meet the future spouses here , they can network here, and they have those connections which can hopefully be lifelong．

　　The program is based in Kansas' tenth largest city , Salina, home to about fifty thousand people．Salina is about a three-hour drive from Kansas City, past fields of corn, soybeans and cattle．

　　Student Claire Hinrichsen grew up in a town of about six hundred people．She attended the University of Kansas, or KU, as an undergraduate．One reason why the chose the Salina program is because of the size．There are only eight students－the smallest medical school in the country．Classes are taught by professors in Salina or on a video link from Kansas City or Wichita．

　　Students who complete the four year program will then do their residency training in a small community in the surrounding area．One place a resident might work is the Clay Center Clinic, where Dr．Kerry Murphy is a family physician．

　　Rural doctors generally serve older, poorer patients．Going into a specialty in a big city can mean better working hours and more money to pay off student loans．

　　The Salina program will pay tuition for each year that students practice in a rural area in Kansas．

Earlier, we explained how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world. We also discussed the rules for entering in the United States. And we talked about programs that can be completed online.

But if your goal is to come to the United States to study, then it is time to make a list of colleges or universities that interest you. Be sure to choose more than one. Directors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at least three schools.

Some students want to attend a small college. Others want to go to a big university. If a really big university appeals to you, then there are ones like Ohio State. That university in Columbus, Ohio, in the Midwest, has almost fifty two thousand students. There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries.

Ohio State provides international students with an application on its Web site. You can pay the application charge online with a credit card. Or you can print the forms and mail them with the payment.

Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs（目录）online.

You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies.

Completing a college application can take some time. But answering all the questions is not enough. Another important step is taking admissions tests. The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take. Another one is the ACT.

Colleges and universities may also require international students to take the TOEFL the Test of English as a Foreign Language.
