生活百科：心理健康與生活系列之十三 ——如何得知自己是否正常

STEP 1 Be a fool for love 為愛做個傻瓜

Don't be embarrassed if you're a fool for love: People fall in love an average of six times in their lifetime. And most of us are hiding a secret passion: 68 percent of men and 59 percent of women have been romantically involved with someone their significant other knows nothing about!

STEP 2 Feel proud if you pay your taxes 為自己交稅感到自豪

Feel proud if you never cheat on your taxes. Between 30 and 40 percent of Americans do.

STEP 3 Assess your vices 評估自己的惡習(xí)

See how your vices stack up against other Americans: Forty percent say they've smoked pot, while 15 percent report they've tried cocaine. About half of people surveyed said they had had an alcoholic drink at least once in the previous 30 days.

STEP 4 Step on the scale 稱體重

Step on the scale. The average American woman weighs 163 pounds. The average American man weighs 190 pounds.

STEP 5 Time your next sexual encounter 為下一次性愛計時

Time your next sexual encounter. If you're like almost everyone else, sexual intercourse lasts from 3 to 13 minutes. If you're married, you do it about 66 times a year. Single people get it on 62 times per year.

Nearly 85 percent of men and 45 percent of women who were living with a partner said they had masturbated within the past year.

STEP 6 Don't lie 不要撒謊

Don't bother lying about how often you lie: 91 percent of Americans fib on a regular basis -- even about stuff they consider trivial. Isn't the truth shocking?

Sixty percent of Americans have eaten something after it dropped on the floor.
