you can do it by checking the block id or block title
<{if $block.title=="block-name"}>
  <div class="thisclass">
<{elseif $block.title=="blockname"}>
  <div class="anotherclass">
<{/if}>

Thanks. But I have set the $block.title null, so I cannot use it in "IF". $block.id can be used.
Is there any better way without "IF" in template file?

hmm you can ad a counter in the foreach loop so you will get for each block listed a new class
something like this
<div class="something<{counter}>">

result:
<div class="something0">
<div class="something1">
<div class="something2">
<div class="something3">

We know that when a new block is cloned ,its template file is empty ,even saved after some code written in this empty template file . Because this new block shares the same template file with the old block.So how can we do to make this new block's template file usefull ? That means this new block's template file will be not empty after modify it,and it will take effect for the new block.

You want not a cloned block, but a changed copy of the block.
Check out the module tutorial on kaotik.biz, there is a section that deals with blocks.
Then edit the xoops_version file of your module and add a new block by duplicating the target block entries and giving it new names. Then go to the file where the original block function is defined and duplicate there also the code and rename the function. Duplicate also the template file with the new name.
Update the module.
You now have two blocks with the same function, yet different setup and templates.
