Dear Ken: Thanks for your immediate response, and that's was indeed helpful for me. So, the real reason is that ring osc not only "integrates noise, but also amplifies it.
However as far as Hajimiri's theory is concerned, I still have one question. This well-known figure is quoted from his paper
In this figure, I can see integration, I can see periodical modulation. But I can not see "amplification". May be 1/qmax is the "amplification" factor. If it is, what about driven circuit? I think that driven circuit also have this 1/qmax. So, this confuses me.
(By the way, here qmax is the maximum charge displacement across the capacitor on osc's node. Hajimiri thinks that if deltaQ is injected into the node capacitor The instantaneous voltage change deltaV will be deltaV=deltaQ/C So, hajimiri uses qmax to normalize his equations.)
