Belize Is BornThe world has been changing a lot. Since 1975, more than a dozen(一打，十二个) new nations have appeared. One of the newest is Belize, a tiny nation near Mexico. The British had ruled(统治)Belize for 300 years. But by 1981, the people of Belize were ready to rule themselves. One day in September the British flag came down. The red, white, and blue flag of Belize went up. Belize was independent (独立) at last.
Find out more about new nations by looking at the table below. Each of these nations was once ruled by another nation.
A table is arranged in columns and rows. A column goes up and down. Each column has a title. The title(题目) tells what kinds of facts are in the column. For example, all the words in the first column are nations.
A row in a table goes across, from side to side. Each row has facts about the nation in the first column. For example, one fact about Angola is that it has 6000000 people.

阅读快车系列答案Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers (志愿者). Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.
Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she is going to university to study Chinese, but now she’s living in Belize. Pauline says, “I’m working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is very polluted, the coral will die. I’m helping to do research on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late.”
“I’m staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK. I love my work here, and I’m learning a lot about the people of Belize—and myself! After I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I want to travel around Belize and Central America.”
