摘要：This study analyzes an English Course Book entitled Symphony 1 to find out to what extent Higher and Lower-Order level thinking used in the reading tasks. The focus of this study was on the availability and the variety of HOTS on reading assignments on The Symphony 1 English course book. This descriptive qualitative research adopted the cognitive domain of Revised Bloom's Taxonomy as the instrument. Subsequently, the researcher calculated the percentage and the frequencies of the cognitive field of questions analyzed. Afterwards, the items indicated as HOTS are analyzed again by using tools from Keshta and Sheif to know the variety of HOTS found in the textbook. The results showed that the percentage of LOTS items was 63% while the percentage of HOTS items was 37%. It indicated that LOTS dominated the book. This domination discourages students from thinking critically. Based on the finding, the researcher recommends that textbooks authors need to advance HOTS to develop students' critical thinking, and teachers have to improve their knowledge about HOTS.
