29. 【答案】In the past, he had studied in Germany for five years, and now he works in the southwestern part of the country.
【解析】根据“过去，他曾在德国学习过五年，”这里是叙述一件发生在过去的事情，并且造成了影响，这里用过去完成时，构成 had+动词的过去分词，过去一般说 in the past，五年用 for five years 表示，再根据，而现在“他在这个国家的西南部工作”，这里说的是现在的情况，用一般现在时，在这个国家的西南部用 in the southwestern part of the country 表示。
【知识点】for、study、in the past
30. 【答案】He has been away from home since he got married in the 1990s.

【知识点】get married (to sb.)、since

32. 【答案】Dear Tony,
I'm glad to hear that you are coming to Hefei during the winter vacation! It is the most beautiful place in my eyes. Now it is cold. Sometimes it snows. You can bring some warm clothes.
The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. There are some special traditions for you to follow. Try not to break anything. And don't clean your room on the first day. When you visit a Chinese family, it's a good idea to bring a small gift. Usually Chinese people will give you a present in return. You'd better accept it with both hands. Remember to open it later.
I hope this helps and enjoy your stay in Hefei.
Yours,
Li Hua
