they've been 1 in the 2 late at night and 3 under the bed: beware the christmas present peekers.

要当心偷看圣诞礼物的人——这些人最近常常深夜在阁楼上搜寻,在床底下翻找礼物。

about one in three british adults already know what they will receive for christmas - because they have snuck a 4 at their presents, a new study showed this week.

the survey of 1,000 people by british insurance company insurastore.com showed that 37 percent of british adults admitted to searching for their presents, and out of those, eight in 10 were successful in the hunt(有机会) .

"kids aside, it seems even adults have a 5(魅力,魔力) for what father christmas might have bought them and keeping surprises under wraps is a considerable challenge in any household," insurastore managing director paul maddicott said.

one in five british adults have torn the wrapping paper enough to be able to identify a gift and one in 20 admitted to unwrapping presents completely, the survey revealed.

the average snooper(窥探者) spends an hour and 15 minutes seeking out christmas gifts. respondents ranked the top of the wardrobe and under the bed as the most common hiding places.

however, more than half of those who discovered what they were getting for christmas (56 percent) later regretted their curiosity and said they wished they had not looked. four in 10 even complained that they had spoiled christmas.

"we'd definitely urge anyone who's curious to try and resist temptation as the spoilt(宠坏,损坏) surprise and feelings of 6 are likely to take the fun out of xmas day," mr maddicott said.

the study also found that women were more 7(好奇的) than men, with 40 percent of women admitting to hunting for presents compared to 33 percent of men. but women were also more likely to own up with one in 20 admitting to their boyfriend or husband that they had 8 a peek at their presents.
