A new study finds that more than eighty percent of Internet users in the United States search for health information online．
Susannah Fox from the Pew Internet Project says doctors are still the main source of health information． But the study found that searching online is one of the leading ways that people look for a second opinion． He says， "People are sort of fact﹣checking what they have heard from a doctor． Our studies show that people are still very likely to turn to a health doctor when they need a diagnosis（诊断）or are planning a treatment． "
Forty percent of people are actually looking for doctors or other providers when they search for health information online． Two thirds of Internet users look online for information about a certain disease or medical condition．
The Internet has also become an important source of spiritual support for people with health problems． Susannah Fox says one in five Internet users has gone online to find other people who have the same condition．
A disease is considered uncommon if it affects（侵袭）fewer than 200， 000 people worldwide． The rise of social networking has made it easier for people with uncommon diseases to connect with each other and feel less alone． Social networking is also changing the way some doctors and patients communicate with each other．
Dr Jeff Livingston operates a medical centre for women in Irving， Texas． His office uses password﹣protected software to share information with patients． He says the software has increased efficiency （效率 ）， reduced costs and improved relations with patients． It has just changed the way we do health care． His medical centre also has a Facebook page， a MySpace page and a Twitter feed．

J.M.Barrie was born in Scotland in 1860.He moved to London and became a writer in 1885.Twelve years later，he became friends with Sylvia Davies and her five sons.He enjoyed telling the boys stories and made up the character of Peter Pan to bring them pleasure.He said Peter Pan was based on all the boys，telling them，"That is all Peter is ﹣the spark（创作灵感） I got from you."
A play about Peter Pan was written and shown in December 1904.It was a great success.In 1911，J.M.Barrie wrote a book，Peter and Wendy.The book has been popular sine it was printed for the first time.J.M.Barrie invented the name Wendy，based on Fwendy，the name that he was given as a child.The name Fwendy was based on the word"friend".

DNA is the whole"map" of the human body.It is something that all humans have，and it tells the body what to do.DNA is the reason that we look like our parents，because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.In 1860，Mr Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family.It is because of small things called "genes（基因）"in our body.In 1953，two scientists，Watson and Crick，found out that those small parts are real messages.They are written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961，another two scientists found the first "word" that they could understand in that language.It shows how DNA tells the cell（细胞） to build its parts.So far，scientists have found all the words in the DNA map，but we do not understand what they all do.By understanding what just one "word" means，we can help to save people from several illnesses.So the more we understand ，the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people，Other people worry that when we learn more "words" and find out more information，we will use it in the wrong way，just to make people more attractive（有吸引力的）or stop sick people getting jobs.
