One night about nine o’clock, Dr. Eyck, a surgeon, had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clens Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.
The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o’clock.
A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.
It was after 2 o’clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.
The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.
“Mr. Cuninghan,” said Dr. Haydon to the man, “This is Dr. Eyck. He is the surgeon who walked all the way from Albany to save your boy.”

文章通过一个故事告诉我们—造化弄人，做人要做善事！
小题1:细节题。根据第一段第2行The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy。
小题2:推理题。根据第三段第2行the man ordered the doctor to get out.可知那个人抢走了医生的车。他一路走过去才迟到的。
小题3:排序题。通读全文可知C正确。男孩先伤了自己，接着Dr. Eyck被要求去医院做手术，接着被人抢了车，男孩的父亲到了医院，男孩死了以后Dr. Eyck才到了医院。
小题4:推理题。根据文章第四段可知他2点才到医院，而男孩在他到之前一个小时才去世，可知如果他早到2小时就可以就那个孩子了。
