Abstract	This study aimed to analyze the reading activities in "Bright 2", an English textbook for grade VIII students of junior high school in Indonesia, by using Bloom's revised taxonomy. A content analysis was conducted to achieve the research purpose. The findings show that the textbook has dominant reading activities especially on the cognitive process of "analyze" and "apply" aspects mounting to 27% and 21% respectively out of the total 145 reading activities. Meanwhile, the number of the higher and lower cognitive processes in this textbook is categorized balanced on the score of 49% of higher order thinking skills and 51% of the lower ones. There is a slight difference between the number of higher thinking skills and lower thinking skills since most reading activities found are on "analyze" aspect, which belong to the higher thinking skills while the second most frequent reading activities are found on "apply" aspect, which are lower thinking skills. However, "apply" and "analyze" aspects are placed at the 3rd and 4th in the taxonomy, which means that the textbook emphasizes the middle cognitive thinking process of Bloom's revised taxonomy, which is formed by "apply" and "analyze" thinking process.
