For most people, cicadas mean endless annoying noise in summer. But for residents in Huaibei, Anhui, it means a bit more money in the bank. When darkness falls, parents and children take flash lights and bamboo poles, and go to nearby woods to catch Golden Cicadas, whose prices shot to 0.5 yuan apiece this year from 0.05 yuan due to their rarity as a result of pollution in recent years. "Our family of 4 could catch 1,000 cicadas in one night. At 0.5 yuan apiece, we could earn around 500 yuan," says Wang Tao, a local cicada catcher, adding that last summer they earned more than 10,000 yuan.
How many cicadas can the family catch in one night?
A. 500
B. 1,000
C. 10,000
