Stepwise analysis with fixed variables

These are my questions:

1. For example, if this is my code:

RegModel =

lm(glucose~sex+BMI+height+weight+education+ses,weight=w_without_non_response)
 >summary(RegModel)

step(RegModel, direction ="backward",scope=list(lower=?,upper=?)) 

and I want the sex and height variables to be fixed, but the rest of the
variables to go into the backward analysis, how should I write the scope
function?
 
2.How can I add an alpha level to the step function as a criterion for the
backward regression analysis?
 
Thank you :)
