Thanks.  This is one way to solve this problem.  However, this kinds of 
item-style issue are not very uncommon.  For example,  the "\li" command in 
"clrscode"  package behaves like "\item".  Therefore, is it possible to 
define a variable like "TeX-item-style-list" or something in AUCTeX, the 
users can define the list easily?  For example, add "\xitem", "\bibitem", 
"\li", etc. into this list.  If the user just inserted "\item" last time in 
an environment, then "C-c C-j" will insert "\item" in the same enviroment. 
If the user just used "\xitem" in this environment, then "C-c C-j" will 
insert "\xitem".  This property doesn't need be activated in default.  If a 
user need use it, he/she can activate it.
