The new bank is being watched closely. The United States refused to join when it was offered membership in 2014. Japan has also not sought membership in the bank. But President Obama’s administration was mostly concerned that the bank would challenge the current development architecture, the Bretton Woods system established under the leadership of the United States after World War II.

In the past year, Mr. Jin has worked to reassure Washington, largely by agreeing to choose projects that have already been approved by the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European bank. He has also emphasized that the new bank will be more streamlined and strive to be “lean, green and clean.”

Britain was the most eager of the Western democracies to join the bank, and it broke ranks with the United States and became a member in the fall of 2014. Other members of the European Union, including France and Germany, rushed in after Britain. The withdrawal of Britain from the European Union is not expected to affect its relationship with the bank, Mr. Jin said. “I believe the United Kingdom will continue to play an important role in the development of the bank,” he said at the news conference. Asked if he believed that Britain’s decision showed that the old guard was crumbling quicker than he expected, Mr. Jin diplomatically replied that he had detected no such signs.

Two dozen countries have expressed interest in joining the bank, and they sent observers to the two-day meeting, Mr. Jin said. The new members would come from Eastern Europe, Latin America and Africa, and could join as early as next year.

根据题目要求，完成下列任务，用中文作答。

材料1：

Tom: Hello Alice. I’m interested in your work saving birds! What do you think is the most difficult part of your work?

Alice: Well… I suppose it’s saving wild birds covered in oil. That’s the most difficult of all.

Tom: How does that happen?

Alice: The oil comes from boats. It floats on the water and covers the bird’s feathers when they swim through it.

Tom: That sounds terrible. What do you do about it?

Alice: The first thing we do is to make sure the bird hasn’t tries to clean itself with its beak. As it does so, the bird eats some oil and becomes sick.

Tom: Oh dear! Do the birds always die?

Alice: Sometimes… but we try to save them. Birds use their feathers like a raincoat to keep out cold water. When feathers are covered in oil, they stick together and a bird’s skin gets cold in the water. So without help the bird would die of cold!
