Ok, now I have understand. I just need to install wpa_supplicant and do the configuration in NetworkManager. Then NetworkManager will call wpa_supplicant to access the Wi-Fi.
So I did it and it could connect to the Wi-Fi. I tried to surf the Internet and it worked. I was so excited. But there is a problem, I always got disconnected after the connection was established. And NetworkManager didn't try to reconnect automatically. And I found the only way I can reconnect was to click "Connect to other wireless network" and input the authenticating information again. It didn't work if I just select the network name I wanted. I am not sure why. I also found that on the network list, NetworkManager sometimes didn't display a WPA-enabled network as security enabled, without a shield icon.
