Task 9 . Read the following passages and determine which functional style texts they belong to.

1 . The ancient Greek thinkers already saw that in addition to the general on the scale in which the “private sciences” (Aristotelian term) comprehend it, there is a general and larger scale, namely, separately for each of the three main areas of reality: nature, human society, consciousness (knowledge). But there is also the universal, which is inherent in the earthly universe as a whole and is expressed in laws and categories such as "necessity", "accident", "causality", "connection", "time", etc. Thus, the structural field of the general includes in itself concretely-general (competence of individual sciences), the most common to each of the three main areas of reality, and universal (competence of philosophy).

2 . According to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as LLC) is a commercial organization established by one or more persons, the authorized capital of which is divided into shares determined by the constituent documents. Unlike a joint-stock company, the right to a share is not confirmed by a security (share), but only by a certificate, which, in accordance with the charter of an LLC, can be issued to its participants (founders).

3 . I remember the early fine autumn. August was filled with warm rains, as if on purpose for sowing, with rains at the very time, in the middle of the month, around the feast of St. Lawrence. And "autumn and winter live well, If the water is calm and rainy on Lavrentiya." Then, in the Indian summer, a lot of cobwebs settled on the fields.

4 . Is it possible to give a lesson if there is no classroom? Pass an exam without a record book in your pocket? Is inhaling chalk dust in full breastfeeding a necessary part of the process of obtaining higher education? Joe Martin, for example, doesn't think so. He is 41 years old, he is not the last person in one of the Indianapolis insurance companies - and at the same time a student at Duke University. During a lunch break or in the evening, when Mr. Martin's wife is already asleep, Joe sits down at the computer keyboard, logs on to the Internet and begins to gnaw on the granite of science in the place that the professor, standing on the pulpit seven hundred kilometers from his house, marked out for him.

5 . Russian oil and Russian gas are sacred, they should not belong to a bunch of dubious oligarchs with crooked, frightened faces or tortuous smooth-thighed officials. This is part of the national life - billions of ancient living beings have invested their energy in oil, yes, they have rotted, but nothing living disappears without a trace - their life feeds the voracious stomachs of machines today (A. Dugin)

6 . The participants of the round table heard and discussed the reports

N. N. Chereshneva and A. Dragun on the specifics of the subculture of fans of the football club "Zenith" (St. Petersburg). The participants in the discussion note the special status of the phenomenon of FC Zenit as a unifying "high idea" of a large part of the population of St. Petersburg, the unique nature of the fan environment of FC Zenit, express a common opinion on the need for a comprehensive (general humanitarian) study of this subculture of the metropolis.

The presence of numerous media outlets that write and broadcast about Zenit, unfortunately, does not solve the issue of an objective study of the subculture of the fan environment, its place in the system of subcultures and in general in the culture of St. Petersburg.

The round table participants came to the following conclusions:

    it is necessary to comprehensively study the subculture of FC Zenit as a unique cultural phenomenon of modern St. Petersburg;

    come up with a proposal to organize a project to introduce the idea of ​​a corporate culture for Zenit football club fans;

place on the website of the institute an appeal to all students of St. Petersburg universities with an invitation to participate in the Project to promote the Zenith brand as a football club of the cultural capital of Russia.

7 . Dear Comrade Deputies! I will speak only about the state of culture in our country, and mainly about its humanitarian, human part. I carefully studied the pre-election platforms of deputies. I was struck that the vast majority of them did not even have the word "culture". At the Congress itself, the word "culture" was uttered in passing only on the third day.

Meanwhile, without culture, there is no morality in society. Without elementary morality, social laws and economic laws do not work, decrees are not followed, and modern science cannot exist, because it is difficult, for example, to verify experiments that cost millions, huge projects of the “buildings of the century,” and so on.

8 . Modern students as a special, traditional, stable social and age group have their own characteristics of speech behavior. Thus, students at all times used to communicate with each other using certain stable formulas (both precedent and etiquette), experimenting with language norms (both national and foreign). They are characterized by a special manner of communicating with teachers and other students. They use various speech methods of gaining authority in a group, etc. All these features, being to some extent signs of the speech behavior of members of a given social and age group, are filled with different content at different times, their prevalence and frequency of use in speech changes.

9 . What? The name of? Call me Stepan. But if I say my last name, maybe you won’t believe it right away. My surname is rare, wonderful, one might say. Magpie I. Although, if you look, the surname is like a surname. It seems strange for these places, but here in Ukraine (I myself come from near Lvov) there are not such people: Kochan, say, or Taras. Or even Locust. And I, therefore, Magpie. Bird, it turns out, the surname. My father Magpie. And the grandfather was Magpie. And my children have the same last name. And what? It's not about the name, it's about the person. The main thing is that you yourself treat people with kindness. Then you will be honored and respected, and your name will sound. I, for one, am very proud of mine.
