TikTok (抖音) is a video-sharing app that has taken the world by storm. You'll see dancing, jokes and amazing shows. Many people have found great joy in using the app. They feel relaxed when they watch the videos on TikTok after a day's hard work. However, others think it is not a good idea to use it. Some people, especially the young, have been addicted to (沉迷于) the app. They spend too much time on it. This makes them spend less time on their study or work. What's more, it is bad for their health as well. To solve this problem, TikTok has made lots of changes which are designed to protect its teenage users.

"Users aged 13—15 will not get push notifications (推送) from 21: 00, and for 16 to 17-year-olds, from 22:00. This will help them have more time on work, study, relaxation and sleep," the video-sharing app says. TikTok also made some changes that 16 to 17-year-old users will only receive messages which are good for them. "We want our users, especially younger users to develop good habits when using the Internet earlier," TikTok said.

Another change made earlier from TikTok was stricter. It was said that messages could be sent to users over 16s only. As for users aged 16 —17, if they want to send a message to others, they will need to change to a different sharing option (选择), which protects them from bad information. Besides that, before they share their first TikTok, users under 16 will be asked to choose with whom they want to share their videos.

The head of online child safety at the National Society for the the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Andy Burrows, welcomed the new changes, saying the changes from TikTok would protect teenagers. "I think this will reduce opportunities for offenders (犯罪者) to trick children." Andy said.

 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Could you spend 24 bours without the Internet? I'm not sure how I'd deal with it. These days we all depend heavily on technology, you may or may not be surprised by the results of some recent research about the effects of online and digital (数字的) technology on people's lives. More than half of the people who were questioned said they'd feel "upset" without an Internet connection even for a brief period of time, which is, about 15-30 minutes when they were away from the Internet. 

The scientists also challenged people to spend one whole day without using technology and then report back on what it was like. Some people were surprised that they could not even turn their phones to silent. Nearly fifty percent of them said they felt lonely when they weren't using social media. According to the research, it is harder for the younger people to give up technology. They said that the modern technology has already become a part of their lives. However, there are about 25% of people actually said they felt freer without an Internet connection. It meant they found time to do something they wouldn't usually do such as reading a novel. Some of them said they enjoyed spending more time talking to family and friends face to face. 

So, what about you? As a middle school student, could you take the Internet challenge and spend 24 hours without going online? Or would it be a bad dream for you? Here we have different opinions from Chinese students aged from 12-16, maybe they'll be able to help you with your Internet use.
