I have the following in my .emacs file.  it adds the needed .cc
extension to the list of known extensions, so that the right mode runs
automatically...

...
;; Add the .cc suffix to the auto-mode-alist to automatically invoke c++ mode:
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons (cons "\\.cc$" 'c++-mode) auto-mode-alist))

;; Add '.txt' extension to auto-mode-alist to automatically invoke text mode:
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons (cons "\\.txt$" 'text-mode) auto-mode-alist))
...

Obviously, any other extensions could also be added.  If you want to 
add more than one, you should probably do something like:

...
(setq auto-mode-alist (append
                           (list
                                 (cons "\\.cc$" 'c++-mode)
                                 (cons "\\.txt$" 'text-mode)
                                 (... any other extensions ...))
		       auto-mode-alist))
...
