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 · 外儲說右下第三十五夫人主之夫人主之所以鏡照者，諸侯之士徒也，今諸侯之士徒皆私門之黨也。人主之所以自淺娋者，巖穴之士徒也
荀子 · 王霸篇第十一百吏莫不百官則將齊其制度，重其官秩，若是，則百吏莫不畏法而遵繩矣。關市幾而不征，質律禁止而不偏，如是，則商賈莫不敦愨而無詐矣。
荀子 · 富國篇第十臣下百吏凡主相臣下百吏之屬，其於貨財取與計數也，須孰盡察；其禮義節奏也，芒軔僈楛，是辱國已。
