Most Americans have never lied about their age, would find it easier to live without air travel than the Internet and in matters of the heart are romantics, according to a new survey.

一项新调查发现，大多数美国人从不谎报自己的年龄，认为可以不乘飞机旅行，但不能离开网络，而且多数美国人在感情方面都是浪漫主义者。

Nearly half of the 848 adults questioned in the 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll¹ also said they think Islam is as peaceful as most other religions and 81 percent think the ache of a broken heart is similar to physical pain.

"It appears that the vast majority of Americans are romantics," CBS said on its website. "As Shakespeare said 'the course of true love never runs smooth' and so it appears that most people can empathize with both the joys of a full heart and the pain of a broken one."

Nearly 9 out of 10 women and three-quarters of men agreed with the sentiment²（感情，情绪） , the poll, which questioned Americans about topics ranging from religion and politics to celebrities³ and sports, showed.

Seventy three percent said they have never lied about their age and if it came down to a choice between flying and the Internet, 61 percent said it would be easier to live without air travel, compared to 32 percent who would give up the Internet.

The poll also covered pop-culture topics such as whether or not hard-living Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards or Hollywood bad-girl Lindsay Lohan would outlive（比……活得长） actor and recent tabloid⁴ king Charlie Sheen.

Thirty three percent thought rock legend Richards would live the longest, followed by frequent rehab（修复） resident⁵ Lohan at 21 percent and Sheen at 16 percent.
