问题     We all have ups and downs, and usually it’s just best to accept them. But perhaps you are concerned about someone who seems to be chronically depressed. Maybe he or she never feels like doing anything and never even wants to talk. Is it best for you not to interfere? Should you just sit tight and wait for him or her to snap out of it?
    There are ways you can help. Here are a few:
    1. Get the person to talk. Try to get him or her to tell you not only about the depression itself, but about the fears, wishes, or losses that underlie it. This is often difficult, of course, but it can be very useful. If nothing else, it will reassure the person that someone cares.
    2. Don’t tell a depressed person that things are "not that bad. " To him or her, they are.
    3. Keep the person active. Depression causes apathy and lethargy (倦怠), which lead to more depression, and so on. Productive or entertaining activities can help break this vicious cycle. Very often a change of scene or a vacation can be effective.
    4. If you are struggling with depression yourself, make yourself do something, however trivial it may seem. Make your bed or clean up your room, for example. You will be able to tell yourself you’ve accomplished something.
    5. If serious depression reaction persists for more than two weeks, you should begin to seek medical help.
    6. If you have a depressive reaction after a major illness, surgery, or traumatic (外伤的) event, it’s probably not depression in the clinical sense. Just get plenty of rest and wait it out.
What does the phrase "sit tight" in the last sentence of the first paragraph mean?
选项 A、Take a fixed seat.
B、Stick firmly to one’s opinion.
C、Sit closed in a small place.
D、Fasten the seat belt.
答案B
解析 本题是一道词组含义类问题。问第一段最后一句话中的sit tight是什么意思。根据文章上下文，我们可以推断出该词组是指“坚持目标、意见；固执己见”等。因此，本题的正确答案应是B。
