(5) This is the rejection of wars, overcoming the backwardness of the countries of the "third world", demography, natural resources, the oceans, the environment, space exploration ... (6) But let's take a closer look. (7) Isn't there really only one (and now eternal) problem - environmental? (8) And aren't all the rest, directly or indirectly, only its manifestation?

(9) Humanity has become the force that threatened the very existence of life. (10) And now there is no such human action that would affect all life without a trace, which would not hurt, kill it or heal, increase, improve.

(11) “I am a life that wants to live among a life that also wants to live,” says A. Schweitzer. (12) This means that the environment, “the house in which we live” is nothing but a living dwelling of living life. (13) And the law of this living dwelling is the multiplying variety of life forms. (14) And in relation to a person, the same law requires the identification and enhancement of his personal and national spiritual uniqueness. (15) The more diverse life is, the more alive it is, the more immortal it is.

(16) We have come to the edge of the abyss, primarily because we have lost the love of life. (17) And it is not so much the repulsion from death that will save us, but the attraction to life, the revival of love for it.

(21) In the global environmental problem, the main inseparable human, social aspects can be distinguished. (22) Firstly, it is the preservation, lengthening and improvement of the physical life of each person with the full realization of his unique personality, his spiritual potential. (23) Secondly, the preservation and spiritual development of every people, every nation. (24) And most importantly, the focus of the efforts of all mankind on the physical and spiritual development of children. (25) Without solving these eternal tasks, we cannot survive. (26) These tasks inspire and infect not only with their clarity, realism and beauty (the combination of physical and spiritual), but also with their lack of alternatives in the face of the threat of non-existence.

Rule: Morphological norms of word formation and inflection. Task 7.

General concept of morphological norms.

Morphological norms are the norms for the correct formation of grammatical forms of words of different parts of speech(forms of gender, number, short forms and degrees of comparison of adjectives and many others).

The morphological norm regulates word formation and inflection. These norms are necessarily studied in the school course of the Russian language and are checked in task 6 of the USE. In morphology (as well as in syntax and pronunciation) there are strong and weak norms. The strong ones are respected by everyone who speaks Russian as a native language. Weak ones are easily influenced from the outside, poorly absorbed and often distorted. Their presence is determined by many reasons, in particular, the peculiarities of the development of the phonetic and grammatical systems of the Russian language. So, the norms of education and changes in participles, gerunds, adjectives and other parts of speech that existed back in the time of Leo Tolstoy have changed significantly in our days. It should be noted that for a fairly large list of words there are, on the one hand - colloquial forms, and on the other hand - literary, written. But along with this, there are also such forms that are unacceptable even in colloquial speech and are a gross violation of morphological norms. Anyone who refers to dictionaries knows that in explanatory dictionaries there are certainly marks “razg”, which means colloquial, and others indicating the normative use of the form of a word in a particular style of speech.

In the tasks selected in the exam, students are required to find a word with an error and change it so that it meets the literary, written norm.

The normative nature of the use of a particular word is checked according to the current modern dictionaries, and not according to the “Internet” or “Wikipedia”. Words that allow two literary norms (and this happens!) As a rule, are not presented in assignments.

How can you know if a person is smart? Most people will answer that one of the IQ tests should be used. However, such studies are often criticized today. Therefore, scientists suggest focusing on fairly obvious, but very important signs that allow you to find out whether a particular person is smarter than most people or not.

Did you take music lessons

Research has shown that music helps develop a child's mind in several ways. So, such activities can improve verbal intelligence. In addition, the IQ of a child taking music lessons will in most cases be higher than that of his peers doing something else or not attending any additional classes at all. In addition, according to the results of a study conducted in 2013, it turned out that many children who were gifted in various fields were also involved in music.

You are the eldest among brothers and sisters

In this case, you are almost certainly smarter than your siblings. However, as scientists say, it's not about genetics. So, Norwegian doctors conducted a large study, analyzing the health and IQ level of 250,000 young men. As a result, it turned out that first-borns had an average IQ of 103. This indicator for children born second was 100, and for those who were born third, it was 99. According to the researchers, the reason for this is the psychology of interaction between children and parents. Firstborns often receive more attention, which increases their chances of becoming smarter and more successful.

You are in good physical shape

According to the results of studies conducted in 2006, based on 2200 tests, scientists came to the conclusion that the larger a person's waist size, the lower his cognitive abilities.

In the same year, another study was carried out. His results indicate that 11-year-olds who score the lowest on verbal and non-verbal tests are more likely to be obese by the age of forty. According to scientists, it is easier for smart children to take advantage of opportunities to get a good education and then get a good job, which in the end will allow them to take better care of their health than their less intelligent peers.

Do you have a cat

A 2014 study of 600 students found that people who consider themselves dog lovers are more outgoing and friendly. However, those who love cats more, as shown by tests, have higher cognitive abilities.

Did you breastfeed as a baby?

The results of studies conducted in 2007 indicate that it is possible that those children who were breastfed will grow up to be smarter than their peers who were deprived of mother's milk. Scientists analyzed the stories of more than three thousand babies from the UK and New Zealand. And it turned out that breastfed babies scored almost seven points more on an IQ test than their peers.

Are you left handed

Researchers often associate left-handedness with crime. Indeed, according to statistics, the percentage of left-handers in the criminal world is slightly higher than in other groups of the population. Later, scientists associated left-handedness with such a concept as divergent thinking. This term refers to a type of creativity that allows you to generate new ideas very quickly. This is most relevant for men.

You are tall

In 2008, Princeton University conducted a study that involved thousands of people. As a result, it turned out that those who were taller than average, in childhood, show better results on tests to determine the level of intelligence, and as adults they earn more money.

You regularly drink alcohol

Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa and colleagues found that among the inhabitants of the United States and the United Kingdom, a fairly high percentage of those who showed excellent results on IQ tests in childhood, and drink alcohol in adulthood.

Do you hold liberal views?

Children who score high on IQ tests are more likely to grow up to be liberal, the researchers say.

You learned to read early

In 2012, scientists conducted a study in the UK, which involved almost two thousand pairs of identical twins. As a result, it turned out that those brothers or sisters who learned to read earlier, in most cases, showed better results in tests of cognitive abilities.

you worry a lot

A growing body of research shows that individuals who tend to worry and ruminate may be smarter than the rest. As a result of one of the tests, it was found that people who constantly worry about something show higher rates when it comes to verbal intelligence.

You have a great sense of humor

In one study, 400 students were asked to come up with captions for several cartoons, which were later reviewed by independent experts. As expected, the creations of the smarter students were funnier than the rest.

You used soft drugs

Just as with alcohol, some people who score perfectly on IQ tests as children have at least tried soft drugs as adults.
