I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen, she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, You dont need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!New words and expressions 生词和短语temporarily adv. 暂时地 space n.空间inch n.英寸(度量单位) actually adv.实际上Notes on the text 课文注释1 I have been working hard all morning.我辛辛苦苦地干了整整一个上午。句中用了现在完成进行时，用来强调动作在某一段时间内一直在进行，而且动作有现在的结果。2 getin order，把整理好。3 to make matters worse，更糟糕的是。4 in your spare time，你空闲的时候。参考译文我们刚刚搬进一所新房子，我辛辛苦苦地干了整整一个上午。我试图把我的新房间收拾整齐，但这并不容易，因为我有1,000多本书。更糟糕的是房间还非常小，所以我暂时把书放在了地板上。这会儿，书把地板的每一点空隙都占据了，我实际上是踩着这些书进出房间的。几分钟前，我妹妹帮我把一个旧书橱抬上了楼。她走进我的房间，当她看到地板上的那些书时，大吃一惊。“这是我见过的最漂亮的地毯，”她说。她盯着“地毯”看了一会儿，又说：“你根本用不着书橱，空闲时你可以坐在这儿读地毯！”Multiple choice questions 多项选择题Comprehension 理解1 The writer owns over a thousand books so _.ahe cant get in and out of his roombhe is finding it difficult to get his room in orderc his sister cant get into his roomd he cant get them on to his bookcases2 The writers sister thinks _.a the books look untidyb the bookcases arent big enoughc the books make a nice carpetd he needs more bookcases than he hasStructure 句型3 He has been working all morning and he _hard.astill works bhas still workedc is still working dstill worked4 Hes been trying to get his room in order.
