　　Despite their name , the Want Family don't want much . They want enough money for a nice house and a holiday every year . But they don't' want to be millionaires . They want to do well at their jobs . But they don't want to be the big boss . They do want to spend time improving their garden , visiting their families and taking their two kids , Nicolas and Leuan , to McDonald's for lunch . But they don't want to be famous .

　　The Wants just want to be normal. That's why they are famous . They have been selected as the most normal family in Britain . After a six-month search for the most ordinary family in Britain , the Wants were selected from hundreds of applicants .

　　John wants a job in marketing for a food company , Claire has a part-time job renting out children's play equipment . John doesn't understand why they were chosen to represent ordinary English families . How are they normal ?

　　That is not a bad question . Nearly everyone does some of the things that the Wants do .But very few people do all of them . There have been great changes in the social structure of British life . It is becoming more common for people to have children when they are older than the Wants , and to have one child instead of two . A household with two children may be headed by a single parent , usually the mother . Or perhaps dad and mum are still together , but not married . Or maybe dad and mum are married . Dad goes out to work and mum stays at home and looks after the kids . They have traditional values -Every weekend the whole family goes to church .

　　"What we have here is not an average family , but a traditional family," says Cary Cooper , professor of philosophy at Lancaster University . "There is no such thing as a normal family anymore , in the way there was 20 or 30 years ago . Of course the Wants exist , but for what do we need to celebrate them ?" Perhaps because we think normal families are an endangered species . Examples of them have to be preserved (保护)to show future generations .
