阅读一：Those who dream of the pleasures of drinking at night, may wail (恸哭) and weep in the morning; those who dream of wailing and weeping at night, may be going out to hunt in the morning. When they are dreaming they do not know they are dreaming; in their dreams they may even have tried to predict and interpret their own fates; but when they awake they know that they have had dreams. And there is the great awaking, after which we shall know that this life is a great dream. Indeed, only the truly enlightened persons realize that life is just one big dream. And then there are those stupid ones who think that they are the enlightened ones. Only those who have great doubts can be truly enlightened. But the stupid ones always believe that they are enlightened and that is why in the end, they are stupid.（Adapted from James Legge’s The Chuang Tzu, p.35）阅读一（2）What’s the main implication of this fable?

10. Humiliation of Canossa (excerpted)All the major Protestant reformers agreed that the Catholic Church had taken a wrong turn somewhere, but they disagreed about where the misstep occurred. Constantine's conversion, the codification of canon law, and the rise of scholastic theology received nominations, but as far as many Anglicans were concerned, the real trouble began in January 1077 at Canossa, a castle in Tuscany.Inside the castle, as freezing winds blew, Pope Gregory VII took refuge. Gregory never wanted to be pope, and he certainly never wanted to spend his waning years running around Europe, attempting to stay ahead of hostile princes. Unfortunately, his commitment to reform put him on a collision course with the secular powers of the day.Outside the castle, Gregory's bitterest opponent, Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV, knelt in the snow. On this occasion Henry did not want Gregory's head, but his blessing. Dressed as a penitent, weeping, for three cold days, Henry got what he was after—but the peace between the two men could not last. The stakes of their epic battle, known as the Investiture Controversy, were simply too high.In theory, the church has always held the power to appoint its own leaders.
