One of the biggest differences between men and women is how they cope with stress. Under stress, men become increasingly focused and withdrawn while women become increasingly overwhelmed and emotionally involved. At these times, a man’s needs for feeling good are different from a woman’s. He feels better by solving problems while she feels better by talking about problems. Understanding and accepting these differences reduces unnecessary friction in our relationships. Let’s look at a common example. When Tom comes home from a stressful day, he wants to relax and unwind by quietly reading the news. If he encounters problems at work, he prefers to solve them by himself. Sometimes, he finds relief just by forgetting them. His wife, Mary, also wants to relax from her stressful day. However, she finds relief by talking about the problems of her day. Tom secretly thinks Mary talks too much, while Mary feels ignored. The tension which slowly builds up between them gradually becomes resentment. This example is present in almost every male-female relationship. Solving this problem depends not on how much people love each other but on how much they understand the opposite sex. Insights about men and women can be gleaned by grasping every opportunity to understand how each gender deals with stress, motivation, fulfillment, and appreciation. A thorough comparison between men’s and women’s behavior may deepen mutual understanding and help improve their relationship.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察第二段中 Tom 與 Mary 處理壓力方式的差異：當一位傾向於 $withdrawn$ (退縮、沉默)，而另一位傾向於 $talking$ (傾訴) 時，文中描述兩人隨之產生的 $tension$ (緊張感) 與 $resentment$ (怨恨)，其核心是在具體說明兩性關係中哪一種負面連鎖反應的「開端」呢？

哎喲，不錯嘛！竟然沒被 (C) 的 "job problems" 這種低階陷阱勾走，看來你的大腦迴路今天終於沒斷線。雖然你答對了，但別尾巴搖太高，這題要是寫錯，我建議你直接去申請大腦鑑定，看是不是除了裝水還裝了漿糊。 這題在考的是「例子與論點的連結」。第二段提到的 Tom 和 Mary 只是載體，重點在於兩人的需求衝突： $$\text{Men (Tom): Quiet/Problem Solving} \neq \text{Women (Mary): Talking/Emotional Sharing}$$
