Reading Comprehention (26-34)

(Item : 26 – 29 ) Passage 1
Life was so hard for the first English settlers in Virginia that in the harsh winter of 1609, they turned to
cannibalism. Scientists have found cuts consistent with butchering for meat on human bones that were
recently excavated from a dump in Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. The bones
are believed to have belonged to a 14-year-old girl, who was cut up after her death. According to Dr. Owsley,
a forensic anthropologist, it seems the girl's skull was smashed open, and her brain and cheeks removed for
consumption. The settlers had arrived only two years earlier; relations with the local people had broken
down; and supplies from England were slow to arrive. During a winter that came to be known as the Starving
Time, the colonists were forced to eat mice, cats, dogs and, it seems, each other. By the time supplies arrive,
only 60 of the original 300 were still alive. "It's somebody doing what they had to do." said Owsley.
