文章大意:本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了大学生Dexter Dennis在Wichita State University男子篮球队赢得比赛后,留在球场上帮助工作人员清理体育场的事件。文章强调了Dennis的谦逊和乐于助人的品质,并介绍了他在比赛中的表现。
After the Wichita State University men’s basketball team beat the team from Tarleton State on Tuesday, Dexter Dennis stayed to help staff (员工) at Koch Arena clean the stadium.
Dennis helped lead the Shockers to success, but he didn’t show off. Instead, the soft-spoken college junior from Louisiana did something very humble (谦逊的). The video from the court shows him picking up rubbish in the stands. No one asked him to do it.
The video was shared on Twitter by Taylor Eldridge, who covers Wichita State athletics for The Wichita Eagle newspaper. “Dexter is a different kind of guy,” Eldridge tweeted (发推文). The video quickly circulated, which received more than 1.5 million views and tens of thousands of likes.
“Wasn’t in trouble or anything. Didn’t have to. He just wanted to help out the cleaning workers,” Eldridge wrote in another tweet.
“Cleanup can take up to three hours after every game,” Wichita State University Facilities Director David Gomez said. “Seeing a student athlete staying to help is inspiring.”
“We have several people who have been here for many years and I know for some of them, that’s probably the first time they’ve seen something like that happen,” said Gomez. “And I want to say thank you for leading and showing us that there are still people out there who recognize the hard work that’s done around here.”
Dennis refused KWCH’s offer for an interview, but did address the moment on Twitter. “Didn’t do it for attention,” Dennis tweeted.
He played for 30 minutes during the game, hitting three of four shots from the field and also entering the top 10 all time for career three-pointers in Shocker history, KWCH reports.
