Passage TwoAssociate degrees open paths to new job opportunities and can be used to transfer into bachelor's degree programs.An associate degree is a two-year college degree that you can obtain from a community college,junior college,online university,or some four-year institutions in the US.In terms of education,an associate degree falls between a high school diploma and a bachelor's degree.Students go on to do different things with their associate degree:some transfer into a bachelor's degree program,while others choose to go directly into the workforce.You can also earn your associate degree after working for several years;it can be the first step to a new career or help you advance in your current one.While tuition levels vary between colleges and programs,the average tuition for one year in an associate degree program is $3,800 in 2021,according to the College Board.That's for public in-district schools—meaning you're a resident in the district the associate degree program is located.Compare that with the average tuition for a year in a bachelor's degree program,which is $10,740 for public in-state schools,$27,560 for public out-of-state schools,and S38,070 for private nonprofit schools.It generally takes full-time students about two years to earn an associate degree,though it can take longer for part-time students.If you prefer to work while earning your associate degree,you'll be in good company. More than four million community college students attended part-time in 2021(compared to 2.2million full-time attendees)and 72 percent of them worked.问题:What is the condition for students to take the average yearly cost of associate degrees?

Passage ThreeThe Waitomo Caves are one of the most famous places to visit in New Zealand. Each year,around half a million people visit the caves.Why do so many people visit these caves?It's because they are so different from other caves around the world.From bat dens in Texas to sinkholes in Australia,caves are usually dark places.The Waitomo Caves don't follow this rule,though.The Waitomo Caves are lit up by thousands of small bugs that glow in the dark.These glowworms line the cave walls and ceiling,filling the caves with a soft blue-green light. Because of this light,people can see the beautiful rock formations throughout the caves.The glowworms that line the cave are not actually worms—they're baby flies.The baby flies begin glowing bright blue soon after they hatch from eggs in the cave.They use this light to attract other bugs that are lost in the cave.When the lost bugs see the light,they go toward it.Then the glowworms can catch the bugs and eat them.And when the glowworms are very hungry,they can shine their lights even brighter to catch even more bugs.The glowworms have made the Waitomo Caves a must-see stop on any vacation to New Zealand.You can hike through the caves or take a slow-moving boat ride through them.The natural glow of the caves shows how magical nature can be.If you're ever in New Zealand,you may want to check these caves out!问题:What is the passage mainly about?
