Don Powell was pulling a mountain of envelopes from the letterbox outside his home in Orchard Lake Village, Michigan, when he noticed something strange: a tiny doll couple were sitting inside. A small note read, “________.” It was signed from Mary and Shelley.
He and his wife Nancy had a unique letterbox installed about four years ago. It has many windows on the top and sides to let the light in. The inside is roomy, measuring 66 centimetres long, 38 centimetres wide and 25 centimetres high. It even has lights so that it is bright at night.
“We could understand why dolls would want to move into such a nice mailbox, but we had no idea where they came from,” Don says. “I asked the neighbours whether anybody had left dolls in their mailboxes, and everyone told me no. So I thought, ‘This must just be a joke, and whoever left them here will come back to get them.’”
A few days passed. Don and Nancy discovered the small couple had got a table, a bed and a pair of roller skates.
“I also have a sense of humour, so I left a note of my own, saying that what the home really needed was a refrigerator full of food,” he says.
The fridge was never delivered. But over the next several months, more things mysteriously showed up: a cooker, a dishwasher and a painting, to name a few.
More than a year later, Mary and Shelley were still living rent-free in the letterbox, to the delight of neighbours who now follow Don’s updates on Orchard Lake Village’s Nextdoor page. Don first posted about the tiny couple on August 21, 2022, hoping that might help solve the mystery.
“A homeless couple has lived inside our mailbox. I have included photos of what it all looks like, so you don’t think I’m making any of this up,” he wrote on Nextdoor.
The Powells’ next-door neighbour, Terry Falahee, says he believes that Don did not move the dolls into the letterbox himself. It’s just somebody out there who is having some fun, giving us all a little community humour.
Every month or two, particularly around holidays, the Powells find something new inside the box for Mary and Shelley. For Halloween 2022, the couple was given a pumpkin lantern, and at Christmas, a decorated tree was left with tiny presents.
“It’s getting a little crowded, especially because their cousin Shirley has also moved in, along with a service dog named Maggie,” Don says.
Don recently added a miniature letterbox since the family is getting more and more tiny letters from the community.
1.Which of the following best fits the blank?
A.We’ve decided to live here. B.Welcome to our community.
C.Congratulations, my neighbours. D.Mary and Shelly love the letterbox.
2.Which of the following statements about the Powells’ letterbox is right?
A.It was put up in 2022 for Halloween. B.It was the biggest in the neighbourhood.
C.It was carefully constructed by the Powells. D.It looked very much like a miniature room.
3.Which of the following was done by Don Powell for Mary and Shelly?
A.Buying a refrigerator and filling it with food. B.Introducing the doll couple to the neighbours.
C.Celebrating holidays together with the doll couple. D.Collecting rent money from Mary and Shelly.
4.Who are living together in the letterbox now?
A.Don, Nancy, Mary and Shelly B.Don, Nancy, Shirley and Maggie
C.Terry, Shelly, Maggie and Shirley D.Mary, Shelly, Maggie and Shirley
5.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.A unique letterbox B.Tiny new neighbours
C.A special community D.Mysterious families

Learn outside the classroom
Every morning in the past weeks, 18-year-old Shao Menglu has got up at 6:30 am and been dressed in a uniform. By 7 a.m. she has been working at a mini supermarket in her school.
“The Ningbo No.7 High School students run (经营) the supermarket. It helps students learn more about a real business and helps them get ready for the future work.” Chen Ping, a teacher said.
The students don’t work full time because they have classes. Each class can run the supermarket for a week every term. The students are trained (培训) before they start.
Although the job kept Shao busy, she enjoyed her week. “I had to stand for up to six hours a day and say, ‘welcome back’ with a smile,” Shao said, “But the busy life made me feel happy every day. The job also made me feel like an adult and helped me understand what I should prepare (准备) for my future work.”
“Working at the supermarket is good for us to learn outside the classroom,” said Zhu Yongjie, 17, who once worked at the supermarket.
