The following passage isn't homework but a test question which I am practicing now.I'd like to see how other people (especially native English speakers ) answer it.
Just as computer technology advances almost daily and back roads become highways and then freeways,many people believe that surely by now the tracks and camps on Everest are permanent fixtures that are improved each year. After all,in the Alps you can climb to huts highabove the snow line and sleep in a comfortable bed and order food and wine from a concierge.

Thank you for all the anwsers offered.
There're some other questions which I can't get them straight.Or maybe it's something not possible to be put into words .I wanna ask anyway.Here they are!
1: From a very short passage like the excerpt I submit ,how can I grasp the main points or how would u approach it if somehow you aren't capable to spot the point from the given example? As I mentioned earlier,it's a test question,which means there is very little time for me to think and do the work.
2:Is it ok to provide some possible solutions or try to connect the last couple
sentences and go on my own ideas which perhaps aren't stated by the original
and then end the way I want? I feel I am constrained by the "golden rules' of the
composition writing approach in a way and I become so "clumsy" that I can't squeeze out a piece of "what I think "when I think of these writing principles.

Same as grammar problems I have . I can blah blah a lot if I don't painstakingly take care of the grammar to every detail .What do you think it's more important? To fluently express your ideas with some grammatical problems or try to balence both?Which would look better? If you were a teacher,which would you prefer? There's no" choice C" for now.Please don't tell me to "conquer both or I will sooner or later be conquered .
