Hi Xiao Peng

If you asking about the update (eg, md output, vel, pos, or restart) then 
you have to take care about the PRINT section. From what I'm seeing in your 
input, you set print for MD EACH but then you put 0 as the value something 
like this 
---------------------------------------------------
&VELOCITIES
      &EACH
        MD     0 #Output frequency of velocities, 0 means never
      &END EACH
    &END VELOCITIES
-----------------------------------------------------

I mean if you don't want to print the velocities then just disable it 
(e.g., with ! of #), but if you want to print it lets say each MD step then 
you just set something like this 

-------------------------------------------------------   
&VELOCITIES ON
    FILENAME = velocity.xyz
    &EACH
    &END EACH
  &END VELOCITIES
------------------------------------------------------

This also the same with the trajectory,, forces or restart, you can find 
the details here  https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/MOTION/PRINT.html

one more thing, in you script file, please set the execution with -o 
out.out (or what ever output file you want to name) so you can check the 
properties of your system related to the calculation in that out.out file. 
I hope this help

Best
