for example, there are folder1 folder2 folder3 and folder4 under the C:\, I would only like to sync folder1 and folder3, how can I do it with the Include Filter?

See also the Manual on Include/Exclude.

Assuming your FFS left base location is C:\ and your right location its sync counterpart, your Include Filter should e.g. be changed from * (everything) into
\folder1\*
\folder3\*

Conversely, (as per your example) you could leave your Include Filter at * and change your Exlude filter into
\folder2\
\folder4\
or add these two line to your Exclude filter.

Note that all Include and Exclude Filter definitions are relative to the left and right base location.
