Since David needed money for his car payment,he agreed. He did not tell his boss that he had an important test early the next morning.

　　On Thursday morning David slept through the alarm(闹钟). But,luckily,he was woken up by the telephone half an hour later. He arrived at the exam as the test papers were being handed out.However,he had missed the professor's instruction on how to do the test.
