问题    Why do we underestimate the benefits of persistence? It’s because creative challenges feel difficult. 【F1】People often have the experience of feeling "stuck", being unsure of how to find a solution, or hitting a wall with one idea and having to start over again.
   Trying hard and failing to make progress on a non-creative task, like an advanced physics problem, may appropriately signal that it’s time to stop working. But creative ideas take time. 【F2】They are often generated after an initial period of thinking deeply about the problem, considering different ways to frame the problem, and exploring different possible solution paths. Consider that Sir James Dyson developed over 5,000 prototypes before he patented his best-selling Dyson vacuum cleaner. Or that Walt Disney animated cartoons for nearly two decades before his first big hit, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
   When creative challenges start to feel difficult, most people lower their expectations about the performance benefits of perseverance, and consequently, underestimate their own ability to generate ideas.
   It’s important to accurately value persistence because our beliefs powerfully regulate our behavior. 【F3】If you do not recognize that persistence is valuable for creativity, you will be less likely to persist when you face your own creative challenges. Our research suggests that workers typically underestimate the benefits of persistence when it comes to being creative. 【F4】In other words, some workers may have creative potential that goes untapped when they decide not to persevere with a challenge.
   Based on our research, we offer two recommendations to avoid this: First, ignore your first instinct to stop. When working on a tough creative challenge, you will likely face a moment when you feel stuck and can’t come up with any more ideas. You’ll first want to quit and spend your time doing something else. Temporarily ignore this instinct, especially if you’re still in the early stages of the work. Try to generate just a few more ideas, or consider just a few more alternatives. You may find that your next creative idea was closer than you imagined. Second, remember that creative problems are supposed to feel difficult. Most involve setbacks, failures, and that "stuck" feeling. It’s part of the process. 【F5】Suppress your instinct to interpret these feelings as a signal that you just aren’t creative or that you’ve run out of good ideas. Reaching your creative potential often takes time, and persistence is critical for seeing a challenge through to the end.
【F4】
选项
答案换句话说，一些工人可能具有创造性的潜能，但这种潜能在他们选择放弃一项挑战性任务时没被开发出来。
解析 ①本句是一个主从复合句，包含一个时间状语从句和一个定语从句。②主句为主谓宾结构，that引导的定语从句修饰宾语creative potential，说明创造性的潜能没被开发出来。goes untapped为系表结构，untapped意为“未开发的”。③when引导的时间状语从句表明与主句同一时间段发生的事情。persevere with sth．为固定搭配，意为“坚持做某事”。
