The light curves obtained in the late Spring of 2006 show obvious variations on a short timescale, while the light curves obtained in 2008 December do not. But both sets of light curves are markedly asymmetric, and were analyzed using the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney code with spot model. New absolute physical parameters are obtained. Description: CCD photometric observations were carried out in four consecutive years (2006-2009) using the 100cm reflecting telescope at Yunnan Observatory in China, and the 60cm telescope and 85cm telescope at the Xinglong Station of National Astronomical Observatory of China (NAOC). During the observations in 2006 and 2008, the Johnson BVI or BVRI filters were used simultaneously, while only the V filter was used in 2007 and 2009.
