People should learn to read so they can learn from their mistakes.
C
People will receive comfort from reading when their lives are difficult.
D
People may feel better once they read, though sometimes they will not.

The quotation says that wise people find consolation—comfort or relief—in books when they face troubles in life. Choice C restates this idea: people can receive comfort from reading during difficult times. Choice D is less accurate because the quotation does not suggest that comfort is only occasional.
