练习材料：

We have just moved into a new house and I have beenworking hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. Thishas 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. Atthe moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk onthem to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me tocarry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got abig surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the prettiestcarpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some time then added,'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and readthe carpet!'

任务配置：L0+L4

笔记：

1.知识点

（1）carpet 地毯

（2）I have been trying to get my new room in order.我试图把我的新房间收拾整齐。

get…in order表in“把……整理好”，in order的含义之一为“整齐”、“井然有序”；

现在完成进行时由have been+现在分词构成，强调动作在某一段时间内一直在进行，而且动作现在有结果。到现在为止，该动作可能已不再继续进行，也可能还在继续进行，这要根据 上下文来确定

（3）This has not been easy 这并不容易

（4）To make matters worse, the room is rather small…更糟糕的是房间还非常小……

to make matters worse“更糟糕的是”是个插入语，与主句之间要用逗号隔开。matters(复数形式)可以表示“事态”、“情况”。这个短语是个惯用语。

rather small非常小：very(fairly)多用于褒义,如very(fairly) good；rather多用于贬义形容词、too及比较级前。

练习感悟：

    有些句子，我很难理解为什么使用这个时态，例如This has not been easy，为什么不用this is not easy，查了一下也不能很直观理解，只能硬记了。
