My app writes 5000 entities to datastore daily, and each entity includes 6 columns, but this datastore write operatons reach the free max limit(50000 times)? Why occur this problem?

Update: As of July 1st, 2016, the unit of measure is now "Entity Writes" with a free tier of 20,000. This is independant of indexes so this would no longer exceed the free tier and only cost 5,000 Writes.
If all 6 columns of your entity are indexed you are doing at least (2 + 6*2) * 5000 = 70,000
writes which exceeds the daily quota. From the billing page of Google App Engine:
New Entity Put (per entity, regardless of entity size): 2 writes + 2 writes per indexed property value + 1 write per composite index value
