With a new Palestinian(巴勒斯坦)prime minister in place on April23,the US has seen a new chance to put into place its“road map”for peace.By May5,the Palestinian had accepted the plan,but Israel(以色列)still wanted major changes to be made.
The fighting between the two states began in September2000.Israel and Palestine have fought against each other since Israel created its own states in1948.When Israel won the1967war,it gained control of East Jerusalem,the West Bank and Gaza.Since then,the Palestinians have demanded these three areas be part of their state. Mahmoud Abbas became Palestine’s new prime minister after Palestinian leader YasirArafat was forced to agree to share his power.
The plan was written last December by the US,the United Nations,the European Union,and Russia.It included three steps.
The first step is to stop the violence(暴力)on both sides.

The final step aims for a lasting agreement between Israel and Palestine,and the support of neighboring Arab states.
The Palestinians say that the two sides should be taking steps at the same time.
But Israel demands the first step must be an end to Palestinian violence.
In the face of such disagreement,many analysts don’t believe the plan can ensure a peaceful future in the Middle East.

Dancing that Tells a Story-ballet
There are different ways of telling a story.It can be told in words.It can be told in pictures.It can be told in music.It can be acted out.Or it can be told by still another way----by dancing.Dancing that tells a story is called a ballet.
The dancing in a ballet is done to music,but the story is told by the movements of the dancers.There is no singing or speaking.
The dancers in the picture are telling the story of Sleeping Beauty.The music for this famous ballet was written by the Russian composer Tschaikowsky.The movements of its dancers were worked out by the French ballet master Petipa.
A ballet is a work(of art)just a beautiful picture is.The person who plans a ballet is an artist.So is each dancer.
Sometimes ballet is called toe dancing.It is true that in some ballets the dancers do dance on their toes.But a great deal of the dancing in ballets is not toe dancing.Toe dancing is used to give the idea of lightness and airiness.It is never put into a ballet
unless it fits the story.
Back in the days of ancient Greece and Rome there were dances that told stories of the gods.Even longer ago in Egypt there were dances that told stories of the planets. But the ballet of today had its beginnings about600years ago.It began as a kind of entertainment in the courts of the rulers of Italy.Two hundred years later ballet was popular in the French court.The French king Louis XIV founded a ballet school.
On a ballet program today there are often some French words.The names of many ballets are French.But there may be other French words,too.A part of a ballet that is danced by just two people is called a pas de deux.Such French words remind us that France was once the leader in ballet.
Later the rulers of Russia became interested in ballet.They offered a great deal of money to the best ballet masters and dancers of France.They founded a ballet school. Soon Russia was the leader in ballet.
Today there are many ballet companies.All opera companies,too,have ballets dancers,for ballets are a part of many operas.No one country now leads in ballet.
Ballet is not easy to learn.A boy or girl who wishes to be a ballet dancer has to begin going to a ballet school very early.Some begin when they are only three or four. All the parts in a ballet used to be danced by men.But now a girl has as good a chance as a boy of being a famous ballet dancer.
