Make this passage yours.
Use the reading guide above, build your interpretation, then test what you can recover. Your notes and schedule stay on this device.
1 · Explain it in your own words
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.

韓非子 · 人主第五十二大臣之議故君人者非能退大臣之議，而背左右之訟，獨合乎道言也，則法術之士安能蒙死亡之危而進說乎？此世之所以不治也。
韓非子 · 孤憤第十一則法術之則法術之士欲干上者，非有所信愛之親，習故之澤也；又將以法術之言矯人主阿辟之心，是與人主相反也
韓非子 · 和氏第十三則法術之秦、楚之俗，而人主無悼王、孝公之聽，則法術之士，安能蒙二子之危也，而明己之法術哉？此世所以亂無霸王也。
