In one ancient Chinese story, there is a magic deer. She has beautiful nine-colored fur. The deer is kind and helps people who are sick and poor. In fact, this nine-colored deer comes from a painting in the Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) in Dunhuang, Gansu.

The grottoes were created in AD 366. They hold the world’s best cave art. The clay figures (泥塑) and paintings on the wall are the Mogao Grotto’s greatest treasures. There are more than 2,000 colored clay figures in 492 caves. The tallest is 34.5 meters high while the smallest is only 2 cm, China Daily reported.

The most beautiful paintings are of dancing, flying fairies (飛天). They wear beautiful costumes. Among them, a fairy plays a pipa (琵琶) behind her back. This painting has given dancers in modern times lots of new ideas.

Besides the value of its art, the Mogao Grotto paintings also show how ancient people lived. Some show people farming, eating and fighting. Others show their wedding and funeral customs. In 1987 the Mogao Caves became a UNESCO World Heritage (遺產(chǎn)) Site.

Now it attracts visitors from all over the world. Visitors have to buy tickets online. This is to control the amount of tourists and better protect the site. If you want to visit the Mogao Grottoes, don’t forget to buy tickets online as soon as possible.

What should you do if you’re a teenager under a lot of stress, or dealing with a mental health problem, and you don’t have the money to see a doctor?

If you’re worried about paying for mental health care, you’re not alone. Lots of people need help, but worry that they can’t afford it. But it is possible to find cheap, or sometimes free, mental health care and support. Let’s see how teenagers in the US get help.

1School counselors (咨詢員) and school therapists (心理治療師)

School counselors and therapists can listen to you with care for free! They can help you evaluate (評(píng)估) the situation you’re dealing with. If they can’t help, you’ll need to do a little more research to figure out how to get help.

2Hospitals

Call your local hospital and ask what kinds of mental health services they can give, and at what price. Teaching hospitals, where doctors are trained, often offer low-or-no-cost services.

3Local mental health centers and clinics (診所)

These groups are partially (部分) supported by the country, so they only need to raise part of the fund (基金). Search online for “mental health services” and the name of the county or city where you live. One thing to keep in mind: Not every mental health clinic will fit your needs. Some might not work with people of your age. It’s still valuable to give a call, though. Even if a clinic can’t help you, the people who work there might tell you someone who can.

閱讀以上信息，用恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~完成下面的表格，每空一詞。

Ways to solve your mental health problems with no or 1. money

School counselors and school therapists

They can listen to your problems 2. and try to help solve them. You can get good free services.
