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 · 備內第十七勢而不得。人臣之於其君，非有骨肉之親也，縛於勢而不得不事也。
韓非子 · 難勢第四十之勢而不乘也，霧醲而螘不能遊也，夫有盛雲醲霧之勢而不能乘遊者，螾螘之材薄也。今桀、紂南面而王天下，以天子之威為之雲霧，而天下不免乎大亂者
莊子 · 天道第十三而天下一林之士服；以此進為而撫世，則功大名顯而天下一也。靜而聖，動而王，无為也而尊，樸素而天下莫能與之爭美。
