Behind the band, there was a picture f a yung man named Philip Hancck shwn n the screen. And he is the reasn why they were all there. Hancck was a 27-year-ld Australian wh taught English in Chngqing. When he died in 2018 due t a disease, his parents fllwed his wishes and dnated his rgans（器官）.
The five peple intrduced themselves nstage. They are the nes wh received Philip's rgans.

Chen was instantly n bard t frm a band in memry f Philip, and s were the ther fur recipients.
Since they had n music experience, they had t start frm scratch. Frm learning the guitar, t mastering the maracas and taking n the drums, they tk time ut f their busy lives t practice ver the past year. Peter Hancck, Philip's father, said after watching the band's perfrmance, his biggest wish is fr the five t enjy their lives mre.

Wh likes salty ptat chips the mst? The answer is British peple! The truble is that they are eating t many salty fds. Sme f Britain’s largest restaurants are even serving dishes with unacceptably high levels f salt t children, accrding t a survey.
Researchers frm Actin n Salt analyzed a ttal f 302 meals n children’s menu frm 50 largest restaurants in Britain. They fund that 41 percent cntained mre than 1.8 grams f salt, the largest recmmended amunt fr a child’s meal set by Public Health England (PHE) in 2017. What’s wrse, 34 percent f the meals had mre than 2g f salt. They als fund that levels f salt fr the same meal culd be largely diverse, depending n which restaurant made them. The spaghetti made by the Italian restaurant Prezz cntained 3.2g f salt, cmpared with 0.3g in the ne made by Beefeater.
In September 2020, PHE set ut new suggestins fr the largest number f salt in children’s meals. It wants the level reduced t 1.71g by 2024. Accrding t this, nearly half f the meals surveyed were ver this level, including mst meals at Gurmet Burger Kitchen and Pizza Hut, while Brewers Fayre, Burber King and Ikea made all their children’s dishes with less than 1.71g f salt.
Gramham Mac Gregr, Chairman f Actin n Salt, said, “Gradually reducing the salt that is added t ur fd is the mst effective measure fr lwering bld pressure, s that we can reduce thusands f strke (中风) and heart disease that are caused by vereating salt.”
“As fr thse restaurants wh are unwilling t fllw the instructins, ministers must nw frce them t stp adding all f this salt and putting ur children’s future health at risk,” said Graham. “Parents shuld als pay attentin t it,” he added. “Try t serve ur children with mre hmemade meals and fewer restaurant fds. Try t add spices (香料) t fd instead f salt. Try them. Our kids will thank us.”

C. By giving reasns.
