Passage2（2025·河南周口·三模）

Before a big competition, if you could choose whether you finish third or second, you will choose second, right?     6   

The study from the mid-1990s, based on a study of athletes’ feelings at the Barcelona Olympics, found that bronze medalists (铜牌得主) were much happier than silver medalists．     7     The most popular explanation is that silver medalists have a kind of “imaginary thinking”．     8     For example, the silver medalist of the running event may think that if he had run a little faster, he could have won the gold medal．

However, those in the third place are relieved (感到宽慰的) that they managed to get a medal． Among gold and bronze medalists, the better their performances were, the happier they looked． But this wasn’t the case for silver medalists．     9     A study of athletes at the Rio Olympics actually found very small differences in the happiness shown by silver and bronze medalists． But their post-competition (赛后) interviews showed it is really disappointing to come second． The silver medalists showed their disappointment by talking much more about what might have been．

In short, if you ever find yourself sad in the second place, try thinking more like the bronze medalists．     10     In daily life, you can also learn from bronze medalists． Instead of thinking about what you are short of, be happy that you have performed as well as you did!

根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。

A．However, a study has shown an unexpected result．

B．This way of thinking isn’t just in the field of sports．

C．Of course, gold medalists were always the happiest ones．

D．They often imagine what might have been if they had pushed harder．

E．Perhaps because the better they perform, the more they regret not having won．
