Sometimes it is impossible to send all the mail that arrives at the post office. Perhaps there is an inadequate or illegible address and there is no return address. The post office cannot just throw the mail away, so it becomes "dead mail". Dead mail is then sent to one of the U.S. Postal Service’s dead mail offices in Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, St. Paul, and San Francisco. Seventy-five million pieces of mail can end up in these offices in one year.
The staff ’of the dead mail offices has different ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail. First of all, they look for clues that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages in the hope that something inside will show where the package came from or is going to. (43) Dead mail will also be listed on a computer so that people can call in and cheek to see if a missing item is there.
However, all of the mail cannot simply be stored forever: there is just too much of it. When a lot of dead mail has piled up, the dead mail offices hold public auctions. Every three months, the public is invited to the offices and containing items found in dead mail packages are sold to the highest bidder (出价人).
The passage indicates that dead mail auctions are held______.

中国的传统庙会是集宗教祭祀、文艺表演、商品交易为一体的民间集会。庙会的最初形式并没有商品交换的内容,而只是纯粹的宗教祭祀活动。随着集会人数的不断增多,自然也就导致商人的汇集,定期的集市也就自然形成。演变到后来,庙会商品交易的功能变得比宗教祭祀功能更为重要。
