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 · 解老第二十與天下之而聖人寡，寡之不勝眾，數也。今舉動而與天下之為讎，非全身長生之道也，
韓非子 · 外儲說左上第三十二下之辯者人，善辯者也，持「白馬非馬也」服齊稷下之辯者。乘白馬而過關，則顧白馬之賦。故籍之虛辭則能勝一國，考實按形，不能謾於一人。
荀子 · 仲尼篇第七服人之心平政教也，非致隆高也，非綦文理也，非服人之心也。鄉方略，審勞佚，謹畜積，脩鬭備，而能顛倒其敵者也。詐心以勝矣。彼以讓飾爭，依乎仁
