Dear Seitsonen,
        I am so glad you replied me. And those suggestions are really 
helpful. I am still learning how to use CP2K, so some part I am not very 
sure. I just took example from other people. Also, in my group, no one use 
CP2K, then, when I have some problem, the only way is searching on 
Google.So,  anyway, Thank you very much! 
        Here is some question or answer for you.
        1. Yes, I do mean the binding energy of the CO molecule. And I 
found some paper and references, there are both experimental data 
and theoretical results. My number are far far away, comparing no matter 
which one. SO, I believe there must be something wrong with my code.
       2   When you mentioned the counterpoise correction, I know how to do 
it in Gauss, but no idea how to apply it on CP2K. Can you show me some 
examples? That maybe very helpful. Meanwhile, I will search it by myself.
       3  About EPS_GVG and EPS_PGF_ORB , well, I just copy from other 
example. I will delete them.
       4, For the 3000K, I am just found under that temp. the calculation 
will be done kinda fast, since right now, I am just testing the code. so, I 
only need some results ASAP. Also, I tested the calculations with using 
0.05eV . The results are only small difference between F-D method and 
Energy_window method. For the future work, I will use the Energy_window 
method. 
       5. For the RPBE part,  a friend just told me last week, He said the 
RPBE+D2 (scaling 1.25) works well for metal surface (based on one paper 
that he just found recently). and also gave me that code. So, I only need 
to keep one of  'REFERENCE_FUNCTIONAL' and 'SCALING', Is that right?
       6 I generate the metal surface from the Material Studio, then 
optimize it.

       Thank you again for your great suggestions. Bless you~~~~~~~~~
