Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s, 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.

The rate of population growth is fastest in underdeveloped countries.In these countries a high birthrate is accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public health.Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced death rate by an increased use of family planning.In practice, however, population control is a complex matter.Throughout history people have determined the size of their families according to the cultural values of their societies.
Population control has long been a subject of discussion among researchers.Some have argued that the supply of good land is limited.In order to feed a large population, bad land must be cultivated and the good land overworked .As a result, each person produces less in a given amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population.Other researchers have argued that a large population gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a large population.
One of the difficulties in implementing birth control lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country.In underdeveloped countries where a large population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and naturaeclining population may have to face the prospect of a shrinking tax base and a fall in land values.If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may be thrown out of work.When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened.Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.
68.One reason for quick population increase in underdeveloped countries is that .
A.those countries encourage people to have large families
B.people can get government support if they have more kids
C.improved public health standards have reduced death rate greatly
D.those countries have enough resources to support a large population
69.The writer suggests that policy makers should consider cultural values .
A.in carrying out family planning
B.in producing birth control drugs
C.in improving public health standards
D.in introducing birth control techniques
70.A large population in an underdeveloped country may lead to .
A.a rise in work efficiency B.a shortage of farm workers
C.a decline in grain production D.a reduction in average income
71.Some people believe control in developed countries may .
A.increase market demand B.lower unemployment rate
C.slow down economic growth D.create more job opportunities
72.According to the writer, developed countries prefer .
A.a standstill population B.a fast increasing population
C.a slowly growing population D.a steadily decreasing population
