London―life for Cathy Hagner and her three children is set to permanent (不大可能改变的).  

Their  36  school day and her job as a lawyer’s assistant are busy enough.  37  Hagner also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her  38  at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.  

39 , the exhausted (筋疲力尽的) family doesn’t get home until 7 PM. There is just time for a quick   40  before homework.  

In today’s world, middle-class American and British parents treat their children  41  they were competitors  42  for some finishing line.  

Parents take their children from activity to activity to make their future  43 . It seems that raising a genius (英才) has become a more  44  goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.

“It isn’t entirely  54 ; there have always been pushy parents. But what was seen as strange behavior before is now well  55 .”

It is important to get the right boiler for the size of our house.  

Having a large boiler in a small house is a waste, but if you have a large house with a small boiler you’ll be left lacking warmth.  

British Gas has developed a new boiler, the 330+domestic(家用的) central heating boiler, which could provide the perfect way for you to change situation.

       An experienced engineer can adjust the 330+’s output from 9kW to 30kW. This means the amount of heat the boiler is producing can be adjusted in line with the size of your house.  

So, while you still have just two bedrooms, you could keep it on a fairly low setting, having this increased as you make your house larger to four (or even more) bedrooms, Whatever your future needs, the 330+ can keep up with you, preventing you from having to deal with the trouble and cost of having a new, larger boiler fixed at a later date.  

In addition, the 330+ is very easy to keep in good condition and fix. Its digital indicator provides advanced and accurate diagnoses(诊断) of any problems. This information will enable you to have any problems speedily settled.  

If you also find it difficult to work out exactly how much gas you are consuming on a daily basis, the 330+ can help you see immediately if you are consuming a low, medium or high amount of gas.  

An independent research has shown that this level of customer awareness can reduce energy consumption by as much as 10%, so you’ll be doing your bit for the environment as well. And as the 330+ is produced in Britain, transportation is least possible, providing even greater savings for the environment.
