The phenomenon of lack of thought was confirmed in 1998. Since then the “prescriptions” emerge one after another. However, the result of the “treatment” is far from satisfactory. The chief reason is that there are more macro?viewpoints but few operation able measures. In order to cure the “disease”, measures should be taken from three respects: syllabus revision, teaching reformation, and teacher development. Special attention should be paid to how to cultivate students’ thinking ability in English curricular and how to improve teachers’ critical thinking ability. Only in this way can the “disease” be cured.
