Hi Feiming,

I apologize.  I gave you bad advice in my previous email.  Please use
the #+PROPERTY: setting as in your original email and as described in
the Org-mode manual.  Do *not* add a leading ":" to header argument
names as I suggested.  The following two Org-mode files both work as
expected locally.

If a buffer-wide header argument doesn't seem to be active, you can
activate it by pressing C-c C-c on the #+PROPERTY: line.
