Museum officials said recently that it will close on December 31 after more than 26 years. The museum has 14 galleries and over 400 exhibits. They include unusual objects such as a spider made from scissors and knives, a roulette table made of 14,000 jelly beans, strange animals and representations of unbelievably tall or small humans. Atlantic City is a popular place to visit on America’s East Coast. The city, between New York and Philadelphia, has over 27 million visitors a year. Atlantic City’s Boardwalk is a walkway next to the sea. The museum, as well as hotels, stores, casinos, and other points of interest are on the Boardwalk. The museum is designed with a giant globe that appears to have hit the front of the building. Chris Connelly, the museum’s manager, said, “We’re grateful for the support of our fans and guests, whose curiosity, open⁃mindedness, and enthusiasm have contributed to our success for over 26 years.” He added, “We’re thankful to have offered a “special” form of entertainment and education at the Jersey Shore, and we hope we have helped create wonderful memories for those who have come to visit.” Connelly said the museum is closing because of the end of a business agreement. The future of the famous building is uncertain although possibly some of the building’s design elements may be used in the future. 【语篇解读】　美国新泽西州一个受游客欢迎的景点即将发生变化,该变化涉及著名的里普利信不信由你的关闭! 该博物馆将于12月31日关闭。博物馆有14个展厅,400多件展品,它们包括一些不寻常的物品。博物馆关闭是因为一项商业协议的结束。这座著名建筑的未来是不确定的。 1.What can be included in the museum as an exhibit?
