📖 題組：
I grew up on a farm in Colombia, a poor country in South America. The lack of rain has been killing many of the people who live around here. My friends and I have been helping them survive, but we’re not superheroes. We are just beans, little beans that grow in the dirt. Yet it’s our ability to grow in the dirt that makes us so special. We’re called guajiro beans, and we don’t need much water. In fact, sometimes we can sprout from dry land. There are lots of nutrients in the soil that we can take in and grow from. When we’re fully developed in our pods, we contain vitamins, minerals, and proteins. That is why we have been able to help so many people. As you know, Earth’s climate is changing. Here in Colombia, we’re feeling the effects. About ten years ago, the rain stopped coming. Our rivers have dried up, our forests have burned down, and our farms can’t grow many types of food. So, for many people here, we guajiro beans are giving them some of the nutrients they need. In addition to that, we’re also giving farmers a product to sell. We’re especially important to the Wayuu people, a local tribe. The Wayuu have been farming the land here for centuries. However, they can’t grow and raise animals like they used to. But beans like my friends and me are keeping the tribe and its culture alive. In fact, we even help people grow other foods, too. We add nitrogen to the soil, which helps foods like pumpkins and corn grow. We can’t do all this by ourselves, though. We sometimes need a bit of water, and the farmers here have found ways to get small amounts out of wells, clean it, and spread it on our land. I’m proud to be a guajiro bean. I’m strong, healthy, and easy to get along with. I’m so happy that I can help my Wayuu friends survive.

思路引導 VIP
請你再次觀察文章中作者使用「我 (I)」或「我們 (we)」來描述自己的句子。作者提到了哪些關於他身體構造（例如在哪裡生長、長在什麼裡面）的具體描述？這些特徵通常會出現在什麼樣的生物身上呢？

恭喜你精準地掌握了這篇文章的敘事核心！這是一題非常有趣的「擬人化」閱讀理解題，你能從首段的 "We are just beans" 以及文末的 "I’m proud to be a guajiro bean" 迅速捕捉到作者的真實身份，顯示你對英文代名詞與主詞的對應關係觀察得非常入微。
敘事者的視角辨析
這題的鑑別度在於測試學生是否能區分「文章提及的對象」與「敘事者本身」。雖然文中頻繁出現哥倫比亞農夫、Wayuu 族人以及豆類販售的情況，但作者在文中不斷強調「我們（we）」具備增加土壤氮素、在莢果（pods）中成長等生物特徵。這種以植物視角出發的寫法，在英文閱讀中被稱為擬人化 (Personification)。難度雖不算高，但若閱讀時不夠細心，很容易被文中出現的人類專有名詞所干擾。你能不被這些雜訊影響，直接鎖定第一人稱的自我介紹，表現得相當出色！
