1. A refrigerator comprising: a storage compartment including a front side provided to be opened;a storage member provided inside the storage compartment to be put into or taken out toward the front of the storage compartment, and defining a storage space;a storage member cover coupled to the storage member to selectively open or close a storage space of the storage member;a rail which guides movement of the storage member cover, and includes a step to control a sealing state of the storage space of the storage member according to the movement of the storage member cover; anda roller which moves along the rail is coupled to the storage member cover,wherein the rail includes: a first section provided toward a front of the storage compartment; anda second section connected to the first section toward a rear of the storage compartment and positioned at a higher level than the first section,wherein the storage member cover contacts with the storage member to seal the storage space of the storage member when the roller is positioned at the first section. 2. The refrigerator of claim 1, further comprising a sealing member is provided between the storage member and the storage member cover to improve sealability of the storage space of the storage member. 3. The refrigerator of claim 2, wherein the sealing member is coupled to the storage member cover. 4. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the rail is provided on a side surface of the storage member to extend in a front and rear direction of the storage compartment. 5. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the storage member cover is spaced apart from the storage member to open the storage space of the storage member when the roller is positioned at the second section. 6. The refrigerator of claim 1, further comprising a sealing member is coupled to the storage member cover to improve sealability of the storage space of the storage member, wherein the sealing member adheres to the storage member downward in the coupling direction of the storage member cover to seal the storage space of the storage member when the roller is positioned at the first section. 7. The refrigerator of claim 6, wherein the sealing member is spaced apart from the storage member upward in the coupling direction of the storage member cover to prevent the sealing member from being abraded due to a contact with the storage member while the roller moves along the second section. 8. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein a stopper is provided at the second section to restrict movement of the roller. 9. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the rail is integrally formed with the storage member to be positioned at a side surface of the storage member. 10. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein a water trapping pattern is formed in a surface of the storage member cover facing the storage space of the storage member. 11. The refrigerator of claim 10, wherein the water trapping pattern has a shape recessed upward in a coupling direction of the storage member cover. 12. The refrigerator of claim 10, wherein the water trapping pattern includes a plurality of water trapping portions which are disposed to be spaced apart from each other and have a hexagonal column shape recessed upward in a coupling direction of the storage member cover. 13. A refrigerator comprising: a storage compartment including a front side provided to be opened;a storage member provided inside the storage compartment to be put into or taken out toward the front of the storage compartment;a storage member cover coupled to the storage member to selectively open or close a storage space of the storage member;a sealing member provided between the storage member and the storage member cover to improve sealability of the storage space of the storage member; anda rail which guides movement of the storage member cover, and includes a step to control a sealing state of the storage space of the storage member according to the movement of the storage member cover,wherein the sealing member includesa pleat portion having a plurality of pleats and coupled to the storage member cover; andan adhesion portion which is connected to the pleat portion and adheres to the storage member to be separable according to the movement of the storage member cover. 14. The refrigerator of claim 13, wherein the adhesion portion is connected to the pleat portion to be inclined toward an outside of the sealing member with respect to a coupling direction of the storage member cover. 15. A refrigerator comprising: a storage compartment including a front side provided to be opened;a storage member provided inside the storage compartment to be put into or taken out toward the front of the storage compartment;a storage member cover coupled to the storage member to selectively open or close a storage space of the storage member, and including a water trapping pattern formed in a surface facing the storage space of the storage member;a sealing member provided between the storage member and the storage member cover to improve sealability of the storage space of the storage member;a rail which guides movement of the storage member cover, and includes a slope to control a sealing state of the storage space of the storage member according to the movement of the storage member cover; andwherein a roller which moves along the rail is coupled to the storage member cover,wherein the rail includes:a first section provided toward a front of the storage compartment; anda second section connected to the first section toward a rear of the storage compartment and positioned at a higher level than the first section,wherein the sealing member is coupled to the storage member cover to face the storage space of the storage compartment, and the sealing member contacts with the storage member to seal the storage space of the storage member when the roller is positioned at the first section. 16. The refrigerator of claim 15, wherein the water trapping pattern has a shape recessed upward in a coupling direction of the storage member cover. 17. The refrigerator of claim 15, wherein the water trapping pattern includes a plurality of water trapping portions which are disposed to be spaced apart from each other. 18. The refrigerator of claim 17, wherein a surface of the plurality of water trapping portions facing the storage space of the storage member is formed in a hexagonal shape to have a wide contact area with water drops trapped in the plurality of water trapping portions. 19. The refrigerator of claim 17, wherein the water trapping pattern further includes bridges which connect the plurality of water trapping portions to each other and have a narrower width than the plurality of water trapping portions to prevent water drops trapped in the plurality of water trapping portions from being combined. 20. The refrigerator of claim 19, wherein recessed degrees of the plurality of water trapping portions and the bridges are different from each other. 21. The refrigerator of claim 15, wherein the sealing member is spaced apart from the storage member upward in the coupling direction of the storage member cover to prevent the sealing member from being abraded due to a contact with the storage member while the roller moves along the second section.
