爱思英语编者按：本周一，美国首都华盛顿笼罩在一片皑皑白雪之中，而总统贝拉克•奥巴马则沉醉在圣诞的节日气氛中，他探访了一家儿童活动中心，并给孩子们讲故事，发饼干。
US President Barack Obama reads the Christmas book "The Polar Express" to children during a visit to a Boys and Girls Club in Northeast Washington December 21, 2009. Obama read the Christmas story "Polar Express" and gave holiday cookies to the children during his visit.

President Barack Obama got into the Christmas spirit Monday, stopping by a children"s club to read a story and deliver some cookies, with the US capital cloaked in a deep snow.

Obama read aloud from "The Polar Express," the award-winning Christmas book also made into a film, and joked with youngsters, asking: "Have you guys been good?"

Sounding a bit like an avuncular television host, the visibly relaxed president asked some two dozen children, age six to 11, at the Boys and Girls Club what they wanted for Christmas.更多信息请访问：http://www.24en.com/

He looked surprised by their pricey high-tech wishes, from MP3 players to cell phones and video games.

"Whatever happened to, like, asking for a bike?" Obama asked.

"Everybody has a bike!" one child informed him, as others nodded.

But the president made sure the children understood that the holiday was more than just about presents.

When he asked the children why Christmas is celebrated, one of them piped up: "The birth of baby Jesus."

Obama agreed, adding that "what he symbolizes for people all around the world is the possibility of peace, and people treating each other with respect."
