One evening as I was leaving the store，I noticed a man with a very old sleeping bag going through the garbage can nearby．He pulled out fast food trash bags and inspected all that was in the thrown away bags，but he never stopped anyone to beg for money or anything eles as they entered or left my store．After he went through the entire trash can，he carefully cleaned up the area and wrapped up the food he found in the dirty hamburger wrapper．My heart literally hurt for him．
I decided to help him．I got out of my car and asked him if I could buy him something to eat．He thanked and，followed me to the fast food place around the block．I bought him the biggest meal they had on the menu．He didn't ask for anything and the only request was a big glass of hot sweet tea to go with his meal．When I brought him the food，he was so thankful．He told me how much he appreciated the meal．
I wanted to give him some money．He shook his head．I asked him if I could buy a few meals and put it on a gift card for him．He agreed．
As I handed him the gife card，he broke down crying．He told me that he prayed for me today．I wasn't sure what he meant （I was guessing he was praying for me for what I did for him ）so I thanked him．
"NO，I prayed that God would send someone to buy me a hot meal today …and be sent you!" Tears traced down his checks．
I didn't know what to say …I always pray over my food，but I've never prayed for a meal．I've never doubted that I wouldn't be able to eat …Tears began to fill my eyes．Oh my …how blessed am I…Maybe God used me to answer this man's prayer．
Everybody has a story though I didn't know his，but I had done what God wanted me to．God put him in my path …I knew he did．I took him to my office．

Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years， but not everything that is said about them is good． Mobiles are often believed to be the cause of a number of things from poor eyesight and headaches to house fires． There's even one theory that mobile phones should be responsible for the disappearance of bees!
The theory is that the radiation （辐射） given off by mobile phones does great harm to bees， navigation systems （导航系统）． Bees have a built﹣in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hives．But recently， thousands of bees have failed to find their way home． It is believed they are dying far from their hives．
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more serious than it at first seems． The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated by them． Without bees， the crops can't continue to grow． Many beekeepers in Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees． Jim Piper， a London beekeeper， said to the reporter， "My business is becoming worse． Twenty nine of my forty hives are now empty．"
Nobody knows for sure whether the theory is true or not， but it's a fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers． And we can't manage without them．Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared，man would only live for four more years! If the mobile phone theory is correct， we need to do something about it right now﹣before it's too late．
