Every time we go into a museum, we are often told, "{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(not) touch that!" The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia is just the opposite. Here we are encouraged to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}everything.

    My first visit to the museum was one year ago. I was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (exciting) to visit the museum as soon as Mum told us its name. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} told us that we could climb and jump, and touch everything in the museum.

    This place is more like a playground rather than a museum. It gives kids the chance {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(learn) through play. I loved this place a lot and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(have) to be pulled away by the arm when we were ready to leave.

    Each exhibit is a hands-on(亲自实践的) experience. I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(especial) enjoyed the very large water table and grocery store(食品杂货店). I had so much fun {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I didn't even realize I was learning.

    The only problem is this place gets {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(crowd) very quickly on weekends. So you need to get there early {#blank#}10{#/blank#}you don't want to be immersed in(浸没于) the sea of people.
