extracting from web pages but got disordered words sometimes

Thank you, I tried again and I figured it out.

dealing with Chinese html pages and nothing error happened. I read the 
old code and I find the difference. Change the page to unicode before 
feeding to beautiful soup, then everything will be OK.
