ABSTRACT
Beijing residents’ learning and reading time of different educational levels in their free time in 2011
Therefore, they need more learning and reading. In all groups, the learning and reading time of senior high school students is the longest and the average reading time is 36 minutes a day (accounts for 5.29 percent of their free time). The main reason is the increasing academic pressure and the severe employment situation. That many employers only focus on diploma have exerted an invisible impact on senior high school students who have not entered the society. In order to get admitted to a famous university and find a good job in the future, most senior high school students spend more time learning and reading.
