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.

莊子 · 在宥第十一故天下之賞其善者不足，舉天下以罰其惡者不給，故天下之大不足以賞罰。自三代以下者，匈匈焉終以賞罰為事，彼何暇安其性命之情哉！
荀子 · 儒效篇第八天下之道聖人也者、道之管也，天下之道管是矣，百王之道一是矣，故《詩》、《書》、《禮》、《樂》之道歸是矣。《詩》言是，其志
荀子 · 儒效篇第八天下之道天下之道畢是矣。鄉是者臧，倍是者亡，鄉是如不臧，倍是如不亡者，自古及今，未嘗有也。
