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.

选项

答案如果你还没有认识到坚持对创造力的价值,遇到有创造性的挑战时,你可能就坚持不下去了。

解析 ①本句是主从复合句,句首是一个if引导的条件状语从句,此从句中又嵌套一个宾语从句;逗号后是句子的主句,包含一个时间状语从句。②句首的条件状语从句是主句动作发生的先决条件,表明“如果……就……”。其中由that引导从句作宾语,说明“认识到坚持对塑造创造力是有价值的”。③主句是主谓结构,谓语是be likely to do sth.结构,后面是when引导的时间状语从句。
