{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}}

It was a normal day in the life of theAmerican RedCross in Greater New York. First, part of a building on West 140th Street, in Harlem, fell down.Beds tumbled through the air, people slid out of their apartments and onto the ground, three people died, and the RedCross was there, helping shocked residents find temporary shelter, and food and clothing. Then it was back downtown for that evening’s big fund-raiser, theEleventhAnnual RedCrossAwardDinnerDance, at the Pierre. "That’s why I have bad hair tonight," SaidChristopher Peake, a RedCross spokesman who had spent much of the day at the Harlem scene, in the drizzling rain. He was now in a tuxedo, and actually his hair didn’t look so bad, framed by a centerpiece of tulips and jonquils, and perhaps improved by subdued lighting from eight crystal chandeliers.
Definitely not having a bad-hair night wasElizabethDole, the wife of Senator RobertDole and the president of theAmerican RedCross. PresidentDole has chestnut-colored Republican hair, which was softly coifed, and she was wearing a fitted burgundy velvet evening suit ("Someone made it for me! I love velvet, she exclaimed, in her enthusiastic, NorthernCarolina hostess voice) and sparkling drop earrings. Of course, she hadn’t been standing in the rain in Harlem; she had just flown up on the three-o’clock shuttle from Washington.Dole is extremely pretty, with round green eyes and a full mouth and a direct personality. She tilts her head attentively when she listens. She was the recipient of the evening’s award; previous award winners have includedAlice Tully, Princess YasminAga Khan, ...and, most recently,BrookeAstor. Not exactly a sequence at the end of which you would expect to findElizabethDole, but award givers are famous for having political instincts as well as philanthropic ones.
Surrounded by the deep-blue swags and golden draperies of the ballroom were more than thirty-five dinner tables set with groupings of candles and floral centerpieces and RoyalDoulton china,AmericanExpress was there. So wereBristol-Myers Squibb;Coopers & Lybrand; the New York Life; ...and Price Waterhouse. The actressArleneDahl, with her rather red hair and her bearded husband, presided over one table. Otherwise, it was a typical, faceless, captain-of-industry fund raiser (No models! No stars!), of which there seems to be at least one every night in New YorkCity. It was not a society night, ’but still the evening raised four hundred and thirty thousand dollars.
From what we read we can infer that "it was a normal day in the life of theAmerican RedCross in Greater New York" means its staff ______.A．deal with the fall of houses in the city every day
B．are busy helping people who suffer from disasters every day
C．work during the day and to have banquet in the evening every day
D．go to Harlem, the poorest district of New York, every day and help people there
