    The doorbell rang and Mrs. Carson opened the front floor. Her heart sank w {#blank#}1{#/blank#} she saw Mrs. Burbridge. W {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Mrs. Burbridge called; she stayed for hours and hours. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Carson," Mrs. Burbridge said. "Do come in," Just a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Mrs. Carson had feared, Mrs. Burbridge stayed for several hours. It was nearly six o'clock a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Mr. Carson would be home from work soon……

    Mrs. Carson kept wondering h {#blank#}5{#/blank#} she would ask Mrs. Burbridge to leave without making her angry. "Has your husband got home from work y {#blank#}6{#/blank#}," Mrs. Carson asked. "Oh, yes," Mrs. Burbridge answered. "He always gets home at about five o'clock……" "It's nearly six o'clock. Won't he be getting worried about you?" Mrs. Carson said.

    "I thought of t {#blank#}7{#/blank#}," Mrs. Burbridge said. " b{#blank#}8{#/blank#} it's so pleasant here. We've had such a lovely afternoon. You know w {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I'll do?" I'll ring up my husband a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} tell him to come round, too. May I use your phone, please?"

    I'm not always a fan of museums. I can't pay attention to what I am watching {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the subject matter is very interesting. And art museums? They have never {#blank#}2{#/blank#}my "thing". But that's not to say that I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}go to museums. I do have my favorite museums around the world. For {#blank#}4{#/blank#}， I like NewSeum in Washington, D. C. and Te Papa in Wellington, New Zealand. And sometimes there are several museums that are so {#blank#}5{#/blank#}or special that I can't let myself skip(略过)them. Here is one of the most special museums I have {#blank#}6{#/blank#}so far. It is the National Leprechaun(小矮妖)Museum in Dublin, Ireland.

    The museum {#blank#}7{#/blank#}is not a traditional one. Visiting the museum is more like a theater experience. The 45­minute tour takes you through the museum room {#blank#}8{#/blank#}room and your tour guide tells funny stories about leprechauns. Some rooms are {#blank#}9{#/blank#}of huge furniture(家具). In these rooms, you just look like a very little man. The guide also {#blank#}10{#/blank#}you to take photos as you make your way through the rooms. So I took a lot of interesting pictures that day.

    I really hope to visit the museum again!
