An asteroid is on a collision course with the earth and you have one hour left to live. What would you do in your last 60 minutes?

Not surprisingly, the majority of Britons questioned in a survey -- 54 percent -- said they would like to spend it either with or on the phone to their loved ones.

But the survey revealed a strong hedonistic streak -- 13 percent would sit back, accept the inevitable and reach for a glass of champagne.

Sex appealed to only nine percent while just three percent would turn to prayer.

Two percent intriguingly said they would reach for some fatty food while another two percent decided, with just an hour's life to go, that it was time to start looting.

The survey was commissioned by Ziji Publishing to mark the release of "Cloud Cuckoo Land" by debut novelist Steven Sivell who "uses the classic premise of an impending meteorite collision as a metaphor for threats to the human race."

如果一颗小行星即将与地球相撞，人类只能存活最后一小时，在这最后的60分钟里，你会做些什么呢？

不出所料，大多数受访的英国人（54%）说他们会与自己所爱的人在一起，或是给他们打电话。

同时，调查也显示了人们强烈的快乐主义倾向——13%的人说他们什么也不会做，只想喝杯香槟，等待最后时刻的到来。

只有9%的人表示会去做爱，而仅有3%的人称他们会在最后时刻去做祈祷。

有意思的是，2%的受访者说他们会去吃一些高脂肪的食物，另有2%的人决定在最后的一小时去抢劫。

该项由Ziji出版社委托开展的调查是为了庆祝小说家史蒂文•斯韦尔的处女作《阴云紧锁的孤岛》的出版。该科幻小说描写了“陨星撞击地球对人类构成的严重威胁”。
