【题目】阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。

It’s a common thing for many people to shop online. But it’s hard to believe that a parrot can manage to shop online.

In London a pet parrot called Buddy made it. The parrot succeeded in shopping online on a voice-controlled smart speaker by imitating(模仿) its owner. The order led to survey because nobody could consider the parrot could be the buyer. After they heard the dialogue with the speaker, they found out that the parrot was the buyer.

“I couldn’t believe it when I realized that Buddy had made an order,” the owner said. A video showed the parrot shouted “Alex” and something else, and the machine replied, “ What do you want to order?” Then the parrot told the machine what it wanted to order.

The owner said, “I laughed out loudly when I knew that the buyer was Buddy.”
