I installed some packages in AUR, But after sometimes,,those packages were updated,, But I don;t know, still use the out of date one .........

Either get an AUR helper to do it automatically for you (see the list in the wiki) or do it yourself.

Using packer (aur helper) can be done with: packer -Syu

Some of the pacman wrappers allow you to {yaourt,packer,etc.,} -syu

Or you could just use pacman to unistall the package and then download the up-to-date PKGBUILD and install/update them that way...

I am using yaourt:

yaourt -Syu --aur

If you still want manual control but just want to know when AUR packages are updated, use aurcheck http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28009.
