A
When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as "a ribbon(絲帶)around a bomb". Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio(小兒麻痹癥)at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱)became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925， her back was broken in several places in a school bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lyii^ in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929， she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works? but her later works from the 1940s， known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately? her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s， even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954， Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
1.What does the phrase "a much bigger name" in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?

If Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confu?cius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they. want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies pro?grammes have gained huge popularity in Western uni?versities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and cul?ture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually in?clude Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲學(xué)).Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Busi?nessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
