They believe that spending time abroad has the 19  to affect (影響) people's mind.

If you stay in the same place,you canH experience new sights,new smells,new sounds and new cultures. All these can 21  your mind and make it more active.

   22  , that doesn’t mean the more places you have  been,the more creative you become. Another group of professors have been doing 23  research.
