Thanks, Jeff.
I tried again and it worked, I added a column named "datetime" to the
shapefile and filled the column with the datetime value = 2011-01-01, when i
used 
       "wms_timeextent" "2011-01-01/2011-01-05"
       "wms_timedefault" "2011-01-01"
in my layer, I only got a blank map.So I changed the time form to
       "wms_timeextent" "20110101/20110105"
       "wms_timedefault" "20110101"
and then it works!
