There are different types of money-saving apps, such as JD Finance, Yu’E Bao, Ant Financial, and all of them

work in different ways. Here are 3 of the best apps that can help you save much money.

Capital One Shopping

Capital One Shopping can compare prices automatically as you shop online. As you add items to your cart at

an online seller, this app will search the web for better deals and coupon codes(优惠码). You can follow the links

to other sellers offering a better price and use the available codes tosave. You can even use this app while

shopping at physical shops.

Paribus

There’s nothing more upsetting than buying something and then seeing it for sale at a lower price a few days

later. Wouldn’t it be nice to get that money back? Now you can. Paribus helps you get money back by tracking

your purchases from major stores and discussing refunds. It also helps you get compensated (补偿) for late

Digit

If you can’t figure out how much you can afford to save, Digit will analyze your spending habits and spare a

certain amount to your savings. If the appknows you have spare money to save, then it will be moved

Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum, which made the comb two years

older than I was. Every night, he wouldsmile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it,

OK?”

I was more than happy to do it. At age five this mundane task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the

tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would

proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet.

About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school.

That was when things started to change. He didn’t come home as much as he used to – just a couple of times a

week. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. I stopped

waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.

Today, I’m no longer a kid. I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has got back on track.

Things are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted.

Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As usual, I helped him carry his bags into his

study. When I turned to leave, he said, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while,

then took the comb and headed to the sink.

I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different.

My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before.

The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family. Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet.

After so many years, he still organizes his personal items in the same meticulous way. I guess some things

never change. And for that, I’m glad.

4. What caused the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me?

A. Generation gap. B. Dad’s failure in business.

C. My ignorance of Dad. D. Dad’s absence from the family.

5. Which of the following can best describe Dad?

A. Gentle but strict. B. Hardworking and caring. C. Cautious and realistic. D. Demanding but patient.

6. Why did Dad ask his daughter to clean his comb before her birthday?

A. To give her a lesson. B. To follow his old habit.

C. To fix their relationship. D. To praise her helpfulness.

7. Which saying concludes the text best?

A. Yesterday once more. B. Let bygones be bygones.
