hi Will, it works! :)

Thank you very much!

And I found that in two-sided book, this underfull \vbox warning
occurs frequently, so maybe I should put \raggedbottom in the
preamble. I tried to do so and found the pages do not look very
ragged. Maybe it's `bad' from (Xe)TeX's point of view, but it's fairly
good for my book -- there're many codes inserted in the text.

Best Regards,
Forrest (YYu)
