ime, the French dreamed of (梦想) discovering and controlling more land across the world. In 1535 Fran？ ois I , King of France, ordered a navigator (航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore (探险) the New World and search for a passage to India.

Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If it was, he would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upwards along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead of reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians called it. It was at this point that the term (词) "Canada" entered the country's history. Apparently (明显地) the word "Canada" came from an Indian word "Kanada", which means village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge "village" Canada is!

What was Cartier ordered to do？ ______.

A．To build a new country

B．To find the New World

C．To get in touch with American Indians

D．To know more about America and find a new way to Asia
