2 · Recover the wording
Select a source unit, then hide the passage and reconstruct it. This checks textual recall, not understanding.
3 · Explain, then revisit
Without the source in front of you, explain the passage’s main point and one choice you made in reading it. Then reopen the text and check the evidence.
Rate your understanding yourself. These reminders use a simple schedule; they do not certify mastery.

荀子 · 富國篇第十事成功立宛暍，冬不凍寒，急不傷力，緩不後時，事成功立，上下俱富；而百姓皆愛其上，人歸之如流水，親之歡如父母，為之出死斷亡而不愉者，
韓非子 · 八姦第九是以賢者是以吏偷官而外交，棄事而親財。是以賢者懈怠而不勸，有功者隳而簡其業，此亡國之風也。
韓非子 · 詭使第四十五是以賢者又從而尊之，是教下不聽上，不從法也。是以賢者顯明而居，姦人賴賞而富。賢者顯名而居，姦人賴賞而富，是以上不勝下也。
