——Tommy ——Mina ——Joy ——Alan ——Diana | A. The first jeans were produced in the 1800s, but weren’t called jeans at that time.

Chinese are often known for being shy, but it’s different when we use an app for people to produce and share videos with background audio and special effects.
The short-form video app Douyin, named Tik Tok outside China, has become more popular at home and abroad. Many people make and share short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou.
The videos let teenagers see funny and exciting things they wouldn’t usually see. Many teens like to share the fun things they do with others as well. However, the videos can also cause trouble.
To deal with this problem, Douyin added a new function. If someone uses the app for 90 minutes nonstop, a reminder will pop up（突然出现）.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺，内容完整。
| A．Teenagers especially enjoy these videos. |
| B．The videos are 15 seconds to a few minutes long. |
| C．Everybody turns into a great performer with a good sense of humour. |
| D．Some students spend too much time watching them and not enough time studying. |
