Some jokingly or seriously put it that friends are made to be taken advantage of，which 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. On the contrary，true friendship is the communication of the hearts and understanding of the souls.True friendship is like water，which is tasteless but is essential(最基本的)to our body. Compared with decent(相当好的)wine，water is insipid(无味道的)in taste，but is of great help to satisfy our thirst. True friends dont need to be with each other every day，but are connected in heart every minute whatever the distance is.True friendship is like medicine，though tasted bitter，killing your illness. True friends give you some proposals in point even if they know you would not take. They criticize you when others are praising you，not because of envy but worrying that you may lose your cool head.True friendship has nothing to do with fame，power，or possessions. True friends would often watch silently from afar when you are influential，but come to you whenever you need their help. They care not what you are，but who you are. Youre not his steppingstone to success，but are his crutch(拐杖，支持)to live through difficulties. When you are happy，you are likely to forget him，but when you are in trouble，he is the first one you will turn to for help.True friends make you complete. Many persons company you through your life course，your parents，your lover，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 feel deserted in spirit and lose yourself.True friends stay in your heart，rather than at your side；they know you more than yourself，and try to better you；they care you as much as themselves，but never let you know. They cherish you，for they know without you they are struggling alone in the desert. On your side，you will feel the same. Once you have found such a true friend，do treasure him/her. If your true friend disappears，how can you make the sound of your heart understood?【诱思导学】1What makes the writer feel sad?_2Why does the writer write this article?_3What do you think true friendship is?_Step V SummaryStep V Homework1.
