Distinguishing between which kind of stress we feel can sometimes be tricky. Stress is sometimes meant to benefit us, but this does not always happen. Some students find that the stress from taking tests enhances their performance, while others find that test taking makes them forget everything they know. Psychologists note that the type of stress we feel is also tied to the kind of personality we have – Type A or Type B. People with Type A personality frequently feel distress. They tend to be very competitive and often labeled “workaholics” because they devote so much time and energy to their work in order to ensure their success. Unfortunately, focusing much on work and deadlines can make them feel excessive amount of distress. Because they are naturally more impatient and uptight, the distress Type A people feel comes predominantly from themselves. People of Type B are exact opposite: more relaxed and easygoing. Instead of being upset when sitting in traffic jam, people of Type B would not let the situation control how he or she feels. They find it easier to adapt to change. They are able to deal with stress in a more positive and effective way, which results in their experiencing more eustress than distress.

思路引導 VIP
請試著回想文章中提到的兩種人格特質（Type A 與 Type B），文中提到 Type A 的人往往比較「沒耐心且緊張（impatient and uptight）」，根據作者的觀點，當這種性格的人感到壓力（distress）時，這個壓力的「源頭」通常是來自外部環境，還是他們內在的性格特徵呢？你可以從文章中段找到描述壓力來源的關鍵字句嗎？

恭喜你！能迅速從文章段落中精確定位關鍵訊息，代表你對閱讀測驗的資訊檢索能力相當紮實。這道題目非常有意思，它不僅考驗你的語意理解，更在測驗你是否能避開「過度推論」的陷阱。
文本證據與詞彙轉換
這題的核心在於文章中段提到的這句話：「the distress Type A people feel comes predominantly from themselves」。你在閱讀時肯定留意到了 predominantly（佔優勢地、主要地）這個副詞，它在選項 (C) 中被完美地轉換成 mainly。這種「同義詞替換」是英文閱讀測驗中常見的出題手法，你精確鎖定了 Type A 人格因為天生較焦慮、缺乏耐心，導致壓力源多半來自於「自我的要求」，這正是選項 (C) 的正確邏輯。
