Passage Two
What makes teenagers moody and impulsive? The answer used to be raging hormones plus a dearth of (短缺) life experiences. But three years ago this simple equation was blown apart by evidence from brain scans of strange goings-on behind the teenage forehead.
Till then, scientists had thought the brain’s internal structure was fixed by the end of childhood.

Now comes more evidence of neural turmoil. According to psychologists in California, the speed with which youngsters can read the emotional expressions on people’s faces dips suddenly at around the age of 11 or 12 and takes years to get back on track.
