If people just want to make a living,they can get a short-time education.Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone.Even language and math need not be taught in detail(详细地),either.It is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is mainly for improving a man.

Someone even says that friends are made to be used. It makes me very sad.True friendship doesnt mean that when you need your friends help, you will treat him to dinner, and when you have to protect yourself, you will put your friends in a difficult situation.In fact, true friendship is the communication and understanding of the hearts.True friendship is like water. Compared with decent wine, water is tasteless, but is of great help when we are thirsty. True friends dont need to be with each other every day, but are connected in heart every minute.True friendship is like medicine. Though it is bitter, it cures your illness. True friends give you some suggestions even if they know you would not take. They criticize you when others have a good word for you, not because of envy but worrying that you may lose your cool head.True friendship has nothing to do with fame, power or money. True friends would often watch you silently far away when you are influential, but come to you whenever you need their help. Youre not his stepping-stone to success, but are his crutch(依靠) to live through difficulties.True friends make you complete. Many persons go along with you through your lifeyour parents, your spouse(配偶), and your children, who take care of you and make your life happy. However, you still need someone who understands your thoughts and souls. Without them, you are likely to be unhealthy in spirit.True friends stay in your heart, rather than at your side; they know you more than yourself, and try to better you.（1）What makes the writer sad? A . Someone doesnt understand friendship.B . Someone makes wrong friends.C . Someone doesnt treasure friendship.D . Someone blames their friends.（2）Why does the writer compare friendship with water?
