It exposes you to different views, experiences, history, culture, religions and finally, a better self. Besides, it will teach you a lot of things.To really feel aliveWere always told that to seek happiness, we need to try and live in the moment. And it feels almost impossible to do this in the process of our nine-to-five job. But when we travel, our mind is there; we experience so much for the first time that without any effort, were present in the moment. Its no wonder that so many people become addicted to travelling. Its a perfect way to refresh ourselves, and can be a great way to shake up our lives.To become less ignorantIve never come away from a trip without a prejudice（偏见）completely broken into pieces.

So although we may try to enter a new culture with what we think is an open-mind, we finally walk away realizing just how closed it actually was. You dont know until youre educated. And the bc8t way to educate yourself about another culture, religion, another countrys politics or ways of life is by putting yourself right there in it.To find a better selfYoure constantly challenged when youre travelling. Youre forced to challenge preconceived（预想的）ideas, to learn how to communicate when no one in the conversation speaks the same language, to speak up when you need to meet new people.

When youve run out of money but need to keep going, and when you find yourself somewhere so unfamiliar in every regard, you feel a sense of fear, and you know the only way to overcome it is by opening up your mind. If you face all of these challenges, its certain that your will become a better person.21. What do we know about travlling from Paragraph 1 ?A. Its reliable. B. Its attractive. C. Its beneficial. D.
