Belize Is Born

　　The 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.
