定位至第二段，根据we all tend to struggle with tasks that promise future upside in return for efforts we take now和the short-term effort easily dominates the long term upside in our minds可知选项A：长期的优势不足以吸引我们的大脑去克服短期的努力，可以推出。选项B：大脑会被眼前的急事打断，第二段并未提及；根据That's because it's easier for our brains to process concrete rather than abstract things可知大脑相较于处理抽象事情，更容易接受具体事情，选项C：大脑无法处理抽象的概念，比如未来的利益，表述过于绝对；选项D：大脑天生就能接受失望，文中并未提及。故本题正确答案选A。
