following setting is right?

Disable

Binary and script behaviors
Enable

These match my settings, as far as I can tell, since you trimmed some of the descriptions.

on the IE Internet Security zone, Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins there's
a following to choose from:

Administrator approved
disabled
Enable
Prompt

the default choice is Enable. just like to know what does the Administrator
approved do if i happen to select it? is Administrator approved and disabled
similar?

Administrator approved is a setting that would only allow specific ActiveX controls/plug-ins to run, regardless of the user's preferences. This would be handy in a corporate environment, where there may be internal intranet pages that need controls enabled, but the Administrator doesn't want ActiveX to run from any external web sites. Disabled would prevent them from running completely, including Windows Updates and other sites.
